[Verse 1 – Male rapid country-rap] They had their plans, they had their rules, Their measuring sticks and building tools. They looked at the Stone and turned away— WHO'S THE HEAD OF THE CORNER TODAY? The builders refused Him, couldn't see, The Rock of Ages, eternity! They thought they knew that carpenter's trade— BUT WHO MADE THE TREE THAT THE HAMMER MADE? [Female – Quick answer] WHO DREW THAT PLAN? WHO LAID THAT STONE? WHO MADE THE WORLDS AND CLAIMED HIS THRONE? [Both – CLANG] HAMMER TIME! [Verse 2 – Female Southern gospel rap] You worried about Thor? Honey, WHAT FOR? The LORD's got a Word That'll shake you to the core! Like a fire! Like a hammer! BREAK THAT ROCK IN TWO! You brought a poker face to the party— NOW THE WORD'S LOOKING AT YOU!

[Chorus – Fast, full band] HAMMER TIME! HAMMER TIME! LET THAT HAMMER SWING! THE CARPENTER'S SON IS THE LIVING GOD'S SON— HE'S THE KING OF KINGS! THE NAILS ARE FLYING IN THE AIR— THERE'S A PARTY SOMEWHERE! [Verse 3 – Male and female, rapid trades] [Male] BOY, GET YOUR RULER! GET YOUR SQUARE! MEASURE THE HEAVENS HANGING THERE! COUNT EVERY STAR, CALL EVERY NAME— WHO PUT 'EM THERE AND LIT THAT FLAME? [Female] You measured the lumber, rejected the Stone, Now measure the heavens surrounding His throne! You can't count the stars, but HE KNOWS EACH ONE! And you thought you could measure THE LIVING GOD'S SON?! [Both – Massive drop] HAMMER TIME! COUNT THOSE STARS IF YOU DARE! [Bridge – Fast anvil call-and-response] [Male] WHAT GOES UP? [Female] MUST COME DOWN! [Male] WHO LAID THE STONE? [Female] THE LORD LAID THE GROUND! [Male] WHO REJECTED THE CORNER?
