No Rocks
Maurette Brown Clark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't have to pump or pry me, for I know just how good you have been
And you don't even have to bribe me, because you've proven yourself over and over again
Worthy is the lamb that was slain
And forever your name, I proclaim
Ohhh, I love to praise you yea yea yea
for in my praise I find liberty, if I don't praise you
The rocks will cry out for me
Don't need no rocks crying out for me
Ohhhhhh
Everything that was made, Lord you made it
I was created to worship thee
And so with every hallelujah, Lord I will give it
For you deserve all my praise now til eternity

Worthy is the lamb that was slain
And forever your name, I proclaim
Ohhh, I love to praise you yea yea yea
for in my praise I find liberty, if I don't praise you
The rocks will cry out for me




Don't need no rocks crying out for me
Ohhhhhh
