[Verse 1] They took a poll on right and wrong Said the old rules had to go Sent a memo up to Heaven Just to let the good Lord know They gave truth a brand-new label Said the changes were approved But the sun came up next morning ... And His throne still hadn't moved [Verse 2] I was laughing from the back row Till the sermon turned on me "You can win a thousand arguments And still refuse to see. If you only love your neighbor When he votes the way you do, You might know which box to mark ... But God's got work to do in you." [Chorus] God doesn't need your vote He already holds the throne Truth won't wait for a show of hands To stand up on its own But we do ... yes, we do There's work for me and you God doesn't need your vote ... But we sure do! [Verse 3] You can fuss at the television Till the dog walks out the door But the future of your hometown Needs a little something more Read beyond the pretty slogans Know what you're saying yes to Pray for wisdom, cast your vote ... There's a job God left to you [Chorus] God doesn't need your vote He already holds the throne Truth won't wait for a show of hands To stand up on its own But we do ... yes, we do There's work for me and you God doesn't need your vote ... But we sure do! [Verse 4] When the final count is settled And the headlines take their swing We won't worship any winner We won't stop trusting the King We'll keep truth upon our tongues And His mercy in our hands Faith gets up on Monday morning ... Does the work the Lord commands [Bridge] They didn't vote that stone away They didn't raise Him from the grave No majority can make Him Lord ... He's the One who came to save Let the fearful find their courage Let the weary lift their eyes From woke to woke up ... It's time for us to rise! [Final Chorus] God doesn't need your vote He already holds the throne Truth won't wait for a show of hands To stand up on its own But we do ... yes, we do There's work for me and you God doesn't need your vote ... But we sure do! [Outro] From woke to woke up ... Let the truth come shining through God doesn't need your vote ... But we sure do!
