Stand Forth

As I look to the day

And wonder what will be

The words come to me

     Stand forth

I know just what it means

And when it is to be

When it is to come

     Stand forth

When before the people

With who I will meet

That is the time to

     Stand forth

Then I must not shirk

Cannot leave undone

With boldness then I must

     Stand forth

I must hold out a hand

Offer hope to those in need

Filled with the light I must

     Stand forth
