(Verse 1) You wear the cross like a medal of pride, Speak of grace, but there’s none inside. Your lips quote verses, your heart stays cold, Building kingdoms of silver and gold. (Pre-Chorus) Where’s the love you preach? Where’s the light you show? Behind the holy veil, what do you really know? It’s a temple of words, but the walls don’t stand, A faith built on sand, not the rock or the man. (Chorus) Empty hallelujahs, ringing in the dark, Words without meaning, no truth in your heart. You shout on the mountain, but whisper in fear, False light fades when the truth draws near. (Verse 2) You judge the lost while you hide your shame, Casting stones in the Savior’s name. You hold the Book, but you twist the lines, For power, for profit, for worldly designs. (Pre-Chorus) Do you see the least? Do you hear their cries? Or do you turn away and live in disguise? Faith is a fire that refines the soul, Not a stage for the righteous to take control. (Chorus) Empty hallelujahs, ringing in the dark, Words without meaning, no truth in your heart. You shout on the mountain, but whisper in fear, False light fades when the truth draws near. (Bridge) The shepherd knows his sheep by name, He sees the lies and the hunger for fame. The meek will rise, the proud will fall, A house of deceit can’t stand at all. (Chorus) Empty hallelujahs, ringing in the dark, Words without meaning, no truth in your heart. You shout on the mountain, but whisper in fear, False light fades when the truth draws near. (Outro) So tear down the idols, break down the show, Let the rivers of mercy finally flow. True faith is humble, not loud or grand, It’s the scars in the palm of a Savior’s hand.
