Charlie’s song

They told me to quiet down, to keep my peace,

But fire burns inside that won’t ever cease.

I’ve tasted mercy, I’ve seen His grace,

And I can’t hide the truth that saved this place.

(Pre-Chorus)

If the stones cry out when the saints are still,

Then let my life echo His will.

(Chorus)

If my voice is silenced, let my blood still sing,

Of the Savior’s love, of my risen King.

If the sword should fall, if the night should come,

I’ll wake in glory, I’ll hear, “Well done.”

I’d rather die for truth than live for lies —

If my voice is silenced, let Jesus rise.

(Verse 2)

They chained my hands, but they can’t chain light,

The Word still runs through the darkest night.

I see their rage, but I feel His calm,

The Lion roars through the martyr’s psalm.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ll lift my eyes though the crowd condemns,

For even death can’t silence Him.

(Chorus)

If my voice is silenced, let my blood still sing,

Of the Savior’s love, of my risen King.

If the sword should fall, if the night should come,

I’ll wake in glory, I’ll hear, “Well done.”

I’d rather die for truth than live for lies —

If my voice is silenced, let Jesus rise.

(Bridge)

From the ashes of the faithful,

The church will stand anew.

The cross still breaks the grave apart,

And love still carries through.

(Chorus – Final)

If my voice is silenced, let heaven hear my song,

For my soul is home where I belong.

No fear in death, no shame, no cries —

If my voice is silenced… let Jesus rise.
