WE STAND UPON YOUR HOLINESS
We stand upon Your blood
We cry out for the prodigals
The souls of the lost
O Lord come and release
Your baptism of fire
Jesus, Jesus
Come in power, come in power
Jesus, Jesus
Come in power, come in power
We cry to You
With sounds of guitars and drums
And voices shouting out
We’re weapons of the Holy One
Taking ground
O Lord come and release
Your baptism of fire
