Stop
Andrew Peterson & Randall Goodgame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Harking children everywhere
Yah, there's a secret silent prayer
You don't have to say a thing
Just listen for the king of kings

Stop! Christ is speaking
Stop! Children listen
Every boy and every girl
Every corner of the world
You got to stop! and listen to the Lord

From Instanbul to Bangladesh
If you water the camels
Or man the nets
Nashville clear to Capetown
Don't let your troubles get you down so

Stop! Christ is speaking
Stop! Children listen
Every boy and every girl
Every corner of the world
You got to stop! and listen to the Lord

La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da

La-da-da-da
Oh-oh
La-da-da-da

He said, come to me
My child drawn me
You don't have a thing to feel
The angels rolled away the stone so
You would never be alone

Stop! Christ is speaking
Stop! Children listen
Every boy and every girl
Every corner of the world
You got to stop!

Stop! Christ is speaking
Stop! Children listen
Every where and every way
Every minute of the day
You got to stop! and listen to the Lord

La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da

La-da-da-da




Oh-oh
La-da-da-da

The message remains the same, no matter where you are or what you do, don't let your troubles get you down and make sure to stop and listen to the Lord. The bridge reinforces the words of Christ, inviting everyone to come to Him and not feel alone, as the angels rolled away the stone.
