Static Prayer

THE NOISE THEY CALL SIN

[Intro — heavy guitar riff]

They hear the noise,
They see the lights,
They judge the sound
Before they hear the cry.

But underneath the thunder,
There’s a heart calling His name.
Jesus is the reason—
Nothing’s changed.

[Verse 1]

“That’s too loud.”
“That’s not the way.”
“God can’t be worshiped
With music played that way.”

You hear the guitars screaming,
But you don’t hear the tears.
You hear the heavy rhythm,
But you don’t hear the prayers.

You judge the sound,
You question the style,
But did you hear the message
Behind every line?

[Pre-Chorus]

You want worship in a box,
You want praise your way.
But who are we to tell the heart
How it should praise?

[Chorus — HUGE]

You call it sin,
But Jesus hears our song!
You judge the sound of worship
While the message carries on!
You can criticize the music,
You can question every sound,
But you can’t stop our worship
When His love has found us now!

[Verse 2]

You see the lights,
You see the stage,
But you don’t see the battle
That we’re fighting every day.

You call the music darkness,
But we’re singing through the night.
We’re lifting up the Savior,
We’re declaring He is Light.

Not every prayer is quiet.
Not every heart cries low.
Sometimes praise comes screaming
When there’s nowhere else to go.

[Pre-Chorus]

You want worship in a box,
You want praise your way.
But Jesus looks beyond the sound
And sees the heart that prays.

[Chorus]

You call it sin,
But Jesus hears our song!
You judge the sound of worship
While the message carries on!
You can criticize the music,
You can question every sound,
But you can’t stop our worship
When His love has found us now!

[Bridge — music drops]

“Thus will I bless thee while I live;
I will lift up my hands in thy name.”

I will lift my hands.
I will lift my voice.
I will worship Jesus.
This is my choice.

[Breakdown — screamed/shouted]

THE SOUND DOESN’T SAVE ME!
JESUS SAVES MY SOUL!

THE MUSIC DOESN’T DEFINE ME!
HIS LOVE MAKES ME WHOLE!

CALL IT NOISE!
CALL IT SIN!

BUT JESUS KNOWS
WHAT’S WITHIN!

[Final Chorus — full band]

You call it sin,
But Jesus hears our song!
You judge the sound of worship
While the message carries on!
You can criticize the music,
You can question every sound,
But you can’t stop our worship
When His love has found us now!

We will lift our hands!
We will shout His name!
Not to please the crowd—
But to glorify the King!

[Outro]

You can call it noise…

You can call it sin…

But Jesus knows my heart.
