Clear The Stage Lyrics & Chords

By Jimmy Needham

Verse 1

(G)Clear the stage and set the (Bm)sound and lights ablaze

(C)If that's the measure you must take to crush the (D)idols

(G)Jerk the pews and all the (Bm)decorations, too

(C)Until the congregation's few, then have re(D)vival

(G)Tell your friends that this is (Bm)where the party ends

(C)Until you're broken for your sins, you can't be (D)social

(G)Then seek the Lord and wait for (Bm)what he has in store

(C)And know that great is your reward so just be (D)hopeful



Chorus

(C)Cause you can sing all you (Em)want to

Yes, you (Am)can sing all you (D)want to

You can sing all you (Em)want to

And still get it (Am)wrong; (D)worship is more than a (G)song



Verse 2

Take a break from all the plans that you have made

And sit at home alone and wait for god to whisper

Beg him please to open up his mouth and speak

And pray for real upon your knees until they blister

Shine the light on every corner of your life

Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open

Then read the word and put to test the things you've heard

Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken



Chorus

'Cause you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song



Bridge

(C)We must not worship (Em)something that's not even (D)worth it

Clear the (Am)stage, make some (Em)space for the one who (D)deserves it



(G)Any(Bm)thing I put (C)before my God is an (D)idol 

(G)Any(Bm)thing I want with (C)all my heart is an (D)idol 

(G)Any(Bm)thing I can't stop (C)thinking of is an (D)idol 

(G)Any(Bm)thing that I (C)give all my love is an (D)idol 



'Cause I can sing all I want to

Yes, I can sing all I want to



And we can sing all we want to

And we can sing all we want to

We can sing all we want to

And still get it wrong

Worship is more than a song



Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze

If that's the measure you must take to crush the idols
