Many may stand as opposition to the righteous
but the lord God delivereth them from all
from the all
many they be that stand against the gospel
but the message would just keep marching on
keep marching on
till the whole world is filled with the knowledge of his goodness
tender mercy and kindness of the lord
till all earth knows his voice
Chorus
I wont back down
no I wont back down
Ill stand upon your word I wont back down
though the trials come my way
in your name I overcame
lord Ill stand upon your word
I wont back down
Bridge
yes the whole world will rejoice
when the saints go marching on
to every city, state and tribe
lord your name to magnify
yes Ill stand upon your word I wont back down
