Ears to Hear

Matthew 5:14 ("you are the light of the world") "he that hath ears, let him hear" The call goes out to everybody, but only the ones who lean in actually catch it. Fools laugh now, run to it later. Grace already flipped the switch; the only move left is to walk into it and quit hiding the lamp.

Ears to Hear

IntroThere's a voice in the dark and it's callin' your name.You can hear it or hide but it don't sound the same. Wake upVerse 1Yo, the light hit the dark and the dark couldn't hold it,Truth walked in the room and the shadow got folded,They said stay in your sleep, keep your eyes on the floor,Nah the day already broke, kick the dark out the door,He's callin' the righteous, He's callin' 'em loud,Not the proud on a stage, not the loud in a crowd,The ones with the ears, the ones who lean in,The ones tired of the noise sellin' comfort in sin,'Cause a fool hears the truth and he laughs it away,Says "later, not now" man, later's the grave,But the wise hears a whisper and stands up to move,Light don't beg you to see it just shines and it proves.ChorusLET IT SHINE! (let it shine!)In the dark, LET IT BURN!YOU GOT EARS? (you got ears!)Then you HEAR it it's your TURN!Wake up, wise up, don't you play the fool!The light's already WON walk INTO it, that's the rule!EARS TO HEAR!Verse 2They love the dark 'cause the dark hide the shame,But the lamp's in your chest and it's callin' your name,I ain't cursin' the night, I just carry the flame,Watch a room full of blind start to see when I came,Righteous ain't perfect righteous is HIS,He made you the light, so go shine where He is,Don't dim it for cowards, don't hush for the crowd,A city on a hill wasn't built to be quiet or proud,Fools mock the fire till the fire's what they need,Then they run to the light that they laughed at in greed,So I'm callin' 'em out, every ear that can hearThe dawn's on your face, wipe the sleep, lose the fear.Guitar SoloBridge(You were made for the light...)You were made for the light.(You were never the night...)You were never the night.He shined in your darknow YOU be the lamp on the stand.Don't hide it. DON'T HIDE IT.Let 'em SEE by your hand.Final ChorusLET IT SHINE! (let it shine!)In the dark, LET IT BURN!YOU GOT EARS? (you got ears!)Then you HEAR it it's your TURN!Wake up, wise up, don't you play the fool!The light's already WON walk INTO it, that's the rule!Called and chosen, eyes wide clearHe that hath an ear, LET HIM HEAR!EARS TO HEAR!...you hear that? That was for YOU.
