I am worthy through God's son, by his word and what he's done
By his grace he changed a wretch into a king
I am worthy through his name, it shall ever be the same
I will lift my voice to Jesus Christ and sing
Before Jesus gave me new life, the best that I could do was building crumbling mansions upon the sinking sand
Darkness marked the future, without God in the world, but Jesus, he delivered me when I believed in him
Now I'm standing, I am standing
Standing on my firm foundation since Christ set me free
I am standing, I am standing
Standing fast in liberty on my brand new ground
Growing up in Jesus takes a long, long time; the riches that I've tried to gain, I've learned that they've been mine
Struggling hard to change myself has proved to be in vain; living on the old dead ground only brings me shame
Why should I keep trying to build those crumbling mansions now?
For I have died with Christ, the Lord, and my life is hid with him
Now I'm standing, I am standing
Standing on my firm foundation since Christ set me free
I am standing, I am standing
Standing fast in liberty on my brand new ground
