I speak the words of life and peace
Of love that sets the captives free
But they all think I'm full of hate
Twisting every word I say
(I won't back down)
Through God my strength I will not be put to shame
(I won't back down)
So call me what you want, I don't care what you say
Your words they pierce me but it doesn't matter anyway
I'll live this word till my dying day
Upon this rock I will stay
This world has tried to drown me out
With hands of hate they push me down
I won't relent I will go forth
With my voice I'll proclaim his worth
So call me what you want, I don't care what you say
Your words they pierce me but it doesn't matter anyway
I'll live this word till my dying day
Upon this rock I will stay
This love has captivated me, I once was blind but now I see
This light that guides the wondering soul
Heals the sick and makes them whole
I cannot keep from speaking out, this world it cannot hold me down
So listen up, my God's alive, and for his holy name I would die
So call me what you want, I don't care what you say
Your words they pierce me but it doesn't matter anyway
I'll live this word till my dying day
Upon this rock I will stay
