Someone Stood Up For Stephen



Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



They grabbed a hold

Of the preacher boy

And drug him

To the edge of the town

With hate in their eyes

And rocks in their hands

They couldn't wait

To knock him down

They said,

He's just another believer

Getting ready to take a fall

There's no one here

Who can save him

There's nobody here he can call



CHORUS:

But someone stood up for Stephen

He wasn't standing alone

Someone stood up for Stephen

At the Father's throne

The sky opened up

And the clouds rolled away

Stephen saw Jesus and then

Someone stood up for Stephen

When Stephen stood up for Him



Stephen kept right on preaching

He just wouldn't back down

He was living for Jesus

No matter who was around

Oh, they just couldn't stop him

Now matter how they tried

Stephen knew that to live is Christ

And Christians never die



CHORUS



Don't you know

You can trust the Lord?

His Holy Word is true

If you stand up for Him

I know He'll stand up for you



CHORUS
