Stand up! stand up for Jesus (Alternate Tune)

This wonderful piece reminds me of those glorious days 1984/85, in Christ’s School, Ado Ekiti... a new or rather fresh secondary school student. We bless God for His mercies.

Its a glorious awakening melody and now is the time for all of us to stand up for Jesus in evagelism. The night is far spent.

Please all Christians should stand up for Jesus.

In 1858, churches throughout Philadelphia united in a citywide evangelistic effort. Every morning and evening, services were held in churches, convention halls, and theaters. Dudley Tyng, a 29 year old Episcopalian preacher, spoke to 5,000 men; 1,000 responded to the gospel invitation.

Four days later, however, Tyng was fatally injured in an accident. As he lay dying, his fellow ministers gathered around him. Tyng was still thinking about the men who had made decisions for Christ and in his last, whispered words said, "Tell them to stand up for Jesus."

Presbyterian minister George Duffield preached the next Sunday on the text "Stand therefore" (Eph 6:14) and in conclusion read a poem that he had just written entitled "Stand Up for Jesus." A church member sent the poem to a Baptist newspaper, where it was eventually published. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

An empowering song. Drives all fear and anxiety out of my life. Makes me remember there is everlasting power on standby to be drawn from in any kind situation.
