[Intro – Call & Response / Crowd Energy] (Shouted) When the silence comes… We still praise! When the darkness speaks… We still praise! If nobody else gon’ say it… Then I will! Drop that beat. ⸻ [Verse 1] I used to be quiet, I used to be scared I thought worship was only for people who cared But He pulled me out, gave me breath and a name Now I’m clappin’ and stompin’, unashamed of His name ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Don’t need a stage, don’t need a mic I’ll praise Him in the storm, in the heat, in the fight If the world gets cold, I still blaze ’Cause this rock right here was made to praise! ⸻ [Chorus – Choir + Lead] I’m the rock that praises (hey!) Say it loud and say it proud (hey!) God is glorious, let Him shine You can’t silence the Word this time! Rocks like me gon’ shout His name (hey!) Lift it high and fan that flame I’m the rock — I’m the rock — I’m the rock that praises! 🎶 Shout it out — we lift His name! ⸻ [Verse 2 – Rap Break / Spoken Word] (Option: This could be a talked-through Kirk Franklin moment OR a tight 8 bars) (Spoken) Ain’t no grave gonna hold this sound Ain’t no chain gonna keep us down From the alley to the choir loft We lift Him up — we goin’ off! (Rap style option) I ain’t the silent type, I’m the testify Lifted outta dirt, now I sanctify Even stones cry out when the saints go low So I praise like fire — make the heavens glow ⸻ [Bridge – Call & Response Build] Lead: Even when I’m weak… Choir: I praise Him! Lead: Even in defeat… Choir: I praise Him! Lead: When the walls cave in… Choir: I praise Him! Lead: When the chains fall off… Choir: I raise Him! ⸻ [Breakdown – Groove + Chant] This rock ain’t silent This rock is loud This rock got rhythm This rock is proud This rock been broken This rock been saved Now this rock praises All my days 🎶 (Instrumental hit) ⸻ [Final Chorus – Full Choir, Modulate & Soar] I’m the rock that praises! Say it loud and say it proud! God is glorious — let Him shine You can’t silence the Word this time Rocks like me gon’ shout His name Lift it high, ignite that flame I’m the rock — I’m the rock — I’m the rock that praises! 🎶 PRAISE HIM NOW — WE LIFT HIS NAME! 🔥 😍 😱 🙌 👍 😎 🥵
