Over Christmas I had been thinking of a song about not denying Jesus. Suddenly the verse came to mind:
Peter tried and failed
The rooster crowed
And he betrayed
his Lord
The song developed from there.
This is a song that connects with my soul, and I get emotional each time the chorus comes up. This is who I want to be, standing tall for Jesus and proclaiming he is my Lord.

"Stand Tall" by KunzyPoet
Peter was challenged
"Is Jesus your friend?"
But he swore
Before them all
"I don't know the man"
I'm scared I might do the same
If I was threatened for my faith
Peter tried and failed
The rooster crows
And he knows
He's betrayed
his Lord
Rise up
Don't fall
He died for you
He's worth it all
Don't deny
Or be ashamed
But proclaim
Jesus Christ is your Lord
Stand tall
For Jesus Christ is your Lord.
Stand tall
Stand tall
Judas was challenged
To deliver Jesus
And was given
Thirty reasons
In precious silver pieces
I'm scared I might do the same
If lots of money were at stake
Judas sold the Saviour
For some riches
Then he kisses
And betrays
His Lord
Rise up
Don't fall
He died for you
He's worth it all
Don't deny
Or be ashamed
But proclaim
Jesus Christ is your Lord
Stand tall
For Jesus Christ is your Lord.
Stand tall
Stand tall
Everyday
I'd like to say
I stand up for my Lord
But I'm weak
And I know I can fall
But then I'll call
On Jesus
You will be challenged
"Do you follow Jesus?"
You'll have excuses
but you must choose
Who do you want to please?
Will you be like Peter who was afraid
Or as Judas did for money's sake
Will you deny his name?
Or will you stand
And raise your hands
And proclaim
He's your Lord
Rise up
Don't fall
He died for you
He's worth it all
Don't deny
Or be ashamed
But proclaim
Jesus Christ is your Lord
Stand tall
For Jesus Christ is your Lord.
Stand tall
Stand tall
And proclaim
Jesus Christ is your Lord
Stand tall
For Jesus Christ is your Lord.
Stand tall
Stand tall
Jesus Christ is your Lord
Stand tall
For Jesus Christ is your Lord.
Stand tall
Stand tall
