[INTRO — Spoken over a slow, distorted guitar riff] Two sons stood before their father's call, One said no, one said yes. But the Father wasn't looking for promises. He was looking for obedience. [VERSE 1] A father had a vineyard, Two sons he called that day. "Go and work among the vines, There's work to be done today." The first son answered, "I will not!" His words cut like a knife. But later on, his heart was moved, And he went and did what was right. The second son said, “Yes, my lord! I'll do just what you say.” But his feet never moved an inch, His promise died that day. [PRE-CHORUS] It's easy to speak, it's easy to claim, To wear the truth but deny His name. But the Father sees beyond what shows He knows the heart, He knows what grows! [CHORUS — Heavy guitars, powerful vocals] More than words, more than a name! You can't fool the Father with an empty claim! It's not what you say, it's the path you choose, A heart that repents has nothing to lose! Rise from the ashes! Turn from your sin! The door of His kingdom is calling again! The first said no, but he turned around The second said yes, but he let Him down! More than words! Let your faith be shown! The Father's will is the harvest sown! [VERSE 2] Then Jesus asked, “Which son obeyed?” The leaders knew, the one who first delayed. Jesus made it plain to see, The first had followed his Father's decree. Then came the words that shook their pride, The truth they couldn't bear or hide. Sinners with nothing to offer or spare, Were entering God's kingdom there! John came preaching repent and know, But the leaders refused to believe. Yet sinners heard and turned their hearts, And found the grace they needed to receive. The leaders saw truth, before their eyes, Yet, Still would not turn around. They heard the call to change their ways, But pride kept them from being found. [PRE-CHORUS 2] It's not your past, that seals your blame, It's how you answer, when God calls your name. The proud may stand with their heads held high, But the broken find mercy when they cry! [CHORUS] More than words, more than a name! You can't fool the Father with an empty claim! It's not what you say, it's the path you choose, A heart that repents has nothing to lose! Rise from the ashes! Turn from your sin! The door of His kingdom is calling again! The first said no, but he turned around The second said yes, but he let Him down! More than words! Let your faith be shown! The Father's will is the harvest sown! [BRIDGE — Breakdown, slow and intense] I can shout Your name And still walk away. I can promise You tomorrow While I waste today. But a broken heart Can be made brand-new. When I turn from my rebellion, And walk in truth! No more empty promises! No more hollow praise! Lord, transform my heart and mind Let my life proclaim Your ways! [GUITAR SOLO — Building into the final chorus] [FINAL CHORUS — Full band, gang vocals] MORE THAN WORDS! MORE THAN A NAME! Let my life bring honor to Your name! Not a faith of appearances, not a heart of stone, But a life surrendered to You Lord alone! I WILL TURN! I WILL OBEY! Not just in the words I speak today! Though I once said no, Your grace found me Father, take my life and set me free! MORE THAN WORDS! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! A repentant heart is where true faith can grow! Not by empty promises or the things I claim But by turning to the Father in Jesus' name! [OUTRO — Instruments fade; final vocal over a single guitar] Two sons were called. Two answers were heard. One changed his heart. One broke his word. Father, when You call me, Let my answer be true. Not just, “Yes, Lord”— But a life surrendered to You. Amen.
