Alone I stand,
While all the world around me
Surrounds me
And takes me for a fool.
But I am not
The first to be regarded
As weak and simple-hearted
For choosing to believe
That He keeps watch over His own.
I never stand alone
When I stand with God
And I stand with His prophets.
Wherever I may go,
When I stand with God
I never stand alone.
And so it is
My heart has been befriended,
Defended
By those who,ve gone before.
Who call to me
Like distant rolling thunder,
"You cannot be outnumbered!
You,re standing with the Lord."
And He keeps watch over His own.
CHORUS (repeat)
I stand with Nephi and Moroni,
With Abinadi, who testified in flames!
With saints through the ages,
Stalwart and faithful,
Leading me, telling me . . .
CHORUS (repeat)
While all the world around me
Surrounds me
And takes me for a fool.
But I am not
The first to be regarded

I never stand alone
When I stand with God
And I stand with His prophets.
Wherever I may go,
When I stand with God
I never stand alone.
And so it is
My heart has been befriended,
Defended
By those who,ve gone before.
Who call to me
Like distant rolling thunder,
