In this song, I feel like he's truly expressing his feelings to the world about God and His love. I like the chorus where he's saying "If I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through". That is a very powerful statement because oftentimes we can't stand, and we feel worthless. But he goes again to say that "if he can't stand, let him fall on the grace that brought him to You." This affected me a lot.... We were all brought to Christ by grace, and He continues to give us grace when we don't deserve it or we can't "stand."
I really like the persona of how it's a man asking God to help him when he can't stand and when he can. Through the highs and lows of life we know God will be here for us. Bottom line, I believe that's what this poem is about."So if I stand let me stand on the promise That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home"
