Steadfast Stephen saw his chance to open wide<br />
Unveiling lies, delivering his skin and bones<br />
Upon the hate filled battle cries<br />
They rushed him and they stoned him<br />
But his sights were set on the open skies<br />
<br />
I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me<br />
Waiting to be tried<br />
Is the strength and trust I have in You<br />
Enough that I would stand and die?<br />
Stand and die<br />
<br />
Caught in Cassie was a candle<br />
Burning from the wick of life<br />
She had found it when she finally turned to You<br />
That graceful night<br />
When they asked her if she knew you<br />
What else could she reply?<br />
<br />
I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me<br />
Waiting to be tried<br />
Is the strength and trust I have in You<br />
Enough that I would stand and die?<br />
Stand and die<br />
<br />
Now it's nearly twenty hundred years<br />
Since You were crucified<br />
With my heart and soul and all You gave me<br />
I would give my life<br />
<br />
I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me<br />
Waiting to be tried<br />
Is the strength and trust I have in You<br />
Enough that I would stand and die?<br />
Stand and die
