Called to Worship

Lyrics

[Style: Gospel Swing, High Energy]
[Intro]
(Heavy Kick Drum: THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...)
(Hand Claps join the rhythm)
(Hammond Organ slide)
(Bright Brass hits: BA-DA-DA-DA!)
(Spoken with grit)
"Listen up! The signal is going out!"

[Verse 1]
The frequency shifted on a silent night
The sky ripped open with a blinding light
It wasn't a suggestion, it wasn't a request
It was a summons from the East to the West!
The Shepherds dropped their staffs in the dirt
The Magi started moving 'cross the desert earth
Gravity shifted, the world turned 'round
When the King of Glory touched the solid ground!

[Pre-Chorus]
(Bass line walking fast)
You can bring your gold, you can bring your pain
You can bring your doubts, you can bring your shame
It doesn't matter where you've been or who you are
Just follow the light of the Morning Star!

[Chorus]
(Explosive Full Band & Choir)
We are Called to Worship!
(Yeah!)
Get up off your knees or get down on the floor
Open up your heart and let the praises roar!
From the breath in your lungs to the beat in your chest
Put the Kingdom first and forget the rest!
It’s the reason you’re living, it’s the reason you sing
We are Called to Worship the Newborn King!

[Verse 2]
(Groovy, bass-driven)
Now some people whisper and some people shout
And some people let the tears pour out
Some lift their hands to the ceiling high
And some stand silent beneath the sky
It isn't the method, it isn't the style
It’s the posture of the heart that makes the Father smile
The rocks are ready to cry out loud
So don't let a stone be the loudest in the crowd!

[Bridge]
(Tempo breakdown - Building tension)
(Drum roll builds)
It’s written in the code of your DNA...
To look for the Light and to follow the Way.
The creation is groaning, the angels are singing
The church bells are ready, start the ringing!
(Scream)
START THE RINGING!

[Guitar & Organ Solo]
(Fast, frenetic, joyful energy - Call and Response between instruments)

[Chorus]
(Maximum Volume)
We are Called to Worship!
(Hallelujah!)
Get up off your knees or get down on the floor
Open up your heart and let the praises roar!
From the breath in your lungs to the beat in your chest
Put the Kingdom first and forget the rest!
It’s the reason you’re living, it’s the reason you sing
We are Called to Worship the Newborn King!

[Outro]
(Vocal Ad-libs over heavy brass hits)
Answer the call!
(Called to Worship!)
Don't wait another second!
(Called to Worship!)
He is here right now!
(Big Final Swing Chord)
YEAH!
[End]
