The Stones Cry Out

Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't let the Stones cry out in your place"? It means that if you're not praising God, the stones will take up your place just so that He is praised.

As a Christian, we constantly hear
About the good, and the bad, and the fears.
About the shame, and the mistreatment of us.
And how we should act according to such.

But as a person, it comes with a claim.
We wish we could treat them the same.
We don't want to stand here and take it all day.
But that's a price that Jesus, himself had to pay.

We are a mirrored image of Christ, The Lord.
And so we think it's our job to pick up the sword.
Our pride, we will gain, but at such a deep loss.
So instead of spilling blood, lets pick up the Cross.

We will carry it to eternity, side by side.
Together united; Our destinies tied.
And when someone asks us what we believe,
Do not be afraid! Do not be naive!

Scream it out to the Heavens so Our God can hear!
Because with Him on our side, we have nothing to fear!
Those that ridicule us; Those that treat us like dirt,
Those are the helpless. They feel the most hurt.

We should show them the way; Help them see the light.
Right now they are blind; They are lost in the night.
When anger absorbs you; When terror once more stills your feet,
Pick up your Cross. Carry your burden, so sweet.

We rejoice; We celebrate; We marvel in His glory.
But when dust turns to dust, will we really tell our story?
Some of us will back down. Some of us deny...
When all He wants us to do is grit our teeth and stand by.

I, for one, will stand up and praise Him relentlessly.
I know some will forsake me, but He is my remedy.
I will not let the stones cry out in my place.
I know I'm a sinner, but I revel in God's grace.

There's many places on Earth that are Godless.
They turn the other cheek to Him; conscious.
Their hearts are filled with hate; Their minds doubt.
And when it's quiet, you can hear the stones cry out.
