Chords for The Crabb Family - "The Reason That I'm Standing" - 2001

_ _ [G] _ Oh, listen.
[C] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] I have stood for the gospel
When [D] it seemed I stood alone
But [Em] through the heartache and frustration
I kept [C] my focus on the throne
[G] So many times I have recalled
[D] The Savior's words so true
[Em] If you won't be ashamed of me
[C] I won't be of you
[G] So [Am] I'll pride and stand until [D] I see
The _ [Am] face of the one who [C] gave everything [D] for [G] me
When the reason that I'm standing
[C] Stands in front of me
[Am] _ Every battle [G] that I fought
[C] Will fade [G] from memory
_ [D] _ [G] I'll bow before His mighty throne
And fall down [C] on my knees
When the reason that [G] I'm standing
_ [D] Stands in front [G] of me
The _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] road has not been easy
[G] At times I've lost my way
[Am] So often I have stumbled
[F] Searching for the light [C] of day
The circumstances all around me
[G] I thought I'd surely fall
[Am] The whispering of doubt and fear
[F] Told me you will lose it all
But [Dm] He kept me with His [F] amazing [G] grace
_ [Dm] And someday soon I'll have the chance
[F] To thank Him face to [G] [C] face
[G] _
[C] When the reason that I'm standing
[F] Stands in front of [Dm] me
Every battle [C] that I fought
[F] Will fade from [C] memory
I'll [G] _ _ [C] bow before His mighty throne
And fall down on [F] my knees
When the reason that [C] I'm standing
[G] Stands in [C] front of me
_ [Dm] We will join the millions
And [F] every kindred tongue [C] and race
[F] And every child [Em] of God [C] that day
Will look upon [Bb] His face
[G] _
[F] When the heroes and [C] the martyrs
Who died on the pagan [F] soil
_ [D] Will all stand together and declare
Jesus [G] is Lord _ _
[C] When the reason that I'm standing
[F] Stands in front of me
[Dm] Every battle [C] that I fought
[F] Will fade [C] from memory _
[G] _ [C] I'll bow before His mighty throne
And fall down on [F] my _ knees
When the reason that [C] I'm standing
[G] _ _ Stands in [Am] front of me Oh, [F] yeah
_ When the reason that [C] I'm standing
[Dm] _ [G] Stands in front [C] of me _ _
