Standing Ovation Lyrics

There once lived a man named Stephen
I read about him just the other day
A man of conviction
Who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed
He knew how to please the Father
By giving all the glory to the Son
With boldness he reminded the Pharisees
This Jesus really was the Holy One

To return Him to his Father’s side
But Jesus would not turn His eyes - He was ready to die
He would be faithful to the very last breath.
For you are holy, holy, holy are you Lord my God
