Clear The Stage Lyrics by Jimmy Needham

Clear the Stage

2012

[Verse 1]
Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze
If that's the measure you must take to crush the idols
Jerk the pews & all the decorations too
Until the congregation's few, then have revival
Tell your friends that this is where the party ends
Until you're broken for your sins, you can't be social
Then seek the Lord and wait for what he has in store
And know that great is your reward so just be hopeful
[Chorus]
'Cause you can sing all you want to
Yes, you can sing all you want to
You can sing all you want to
And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song
[Verse 2]
Take a break from all the plans that you have made
And sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper
Beg Him, please, to open up His mouth and speak
And pray for real upon your knees until they blister
Shine the light on every corner of your life
Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open
Then read the Word and put to test the things you've heard
Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken
[Chorus]
'Cause you can sing all you want to
Yes, you can sing all you want to
You can sing all you want to
And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song
[Bridge]
We must not worship something that's not even worth it
Clear the stage, make some space for the one who deserves it
Anything I put before my God is an idol
And anything I want with all my heart is an idol
And anything I can't stop thinking of is an idol
And anything that I give all my love is an idol
[Chorus]
'Cause I can sing all I want to
Yes, I can sing all I want to
And we can sing all we want to
And we can sing all we want to
We can sing all we want to
And still get it wrong
Worship is more than a song
[Outro]
Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze
If that's the measure you must take to crush the idols
