Do you need a little encouragement? Watch this uplifting lyric video of Brand Lake as he joins the Rascal Flats for ‘Stand.’ Life can feel like a hallway with all the lights flickering out. You lose your footing. Your breath catches somewhere between a prayer and a sigh. You didn’t see the layoff coming. Or the diagnosis. Or the way someone you love stops calling, stops caring, stops coming home.

But then, in the swirl of your everyday ache, a song floats in like sunlight through broken blinds and it holds you. Lifts your chin. Whispers: "Stand back up."

That’s exactly what ‘Stand’ by Rascal Flatts and Brandon does. Their lyric video is a musical salve for the weary and the worn-out in a world still reeling from grief, anxiety, and a thousand unknowns. I love how they refreshed this old but well-loved song. 

Brandon absolutely delivered with his unmistakable voice and Spirit-filled fire and joined our favorite country band for a reimagined version of their 2006 hit ‘Stand.’ And it's not just a remake. This isn’t just country meeting gospel. This is a holy collision of grit and grace. Of dirt roads and holy ground. It’s the sound of weary hearts refusing to give up. Of finding the strength to rise from the wreckage with arms wide open toward heaven.

As the music video unfolds, we’re met with billboard signs filled with lyrics and videos that remind us of how we’re falling, faltering, and then rising. Every beat reminds us: we don’t rise alone. The lyrics go straight to the bone: 

‘You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand’

It’s the anthem for every mama crying on her bathroom floor, every man battling inner demons no one else can see, and every teen wondering if anyone would notice if they just disappeared. But God does. And this song is a holy echo of His voice, calling us back to our feet.

Because sometimes your worship looks like a war cry. Sometimes, standing is your greatest act of surrender. And sometimes, Jesus meets you in the chorus of a song.

The lyric video is more than music and words on a screen — it’s a tapestry of the human spirit woven with the presence of God. You’ll see families, first responders, farmers, nurses — people who’ve been knocked flat by life — and then rose again. Not in their own strength, but because the Lord lends His.

And isn’t that the story of all of us? We break and bend, but with Him, we stand.

“The righteous fall seven times, but they rise again.”  Proverbs 24:16
