🎵 “They’ve Already Got Their Reward” By Sheryl Clyde / Thunderbird

[Verse 1 – A Warning Ignored] You said don’t pray to be seen, Don’t give with trumpets blaring in the street. But look around — the lights, the posts, Christians selling prayer like a marketing host. You said what’s done in secret, God sees and will reward… But now they livestream their fasting, Just to rack up hearts and more. [Pre-Chorus – Echo of Matthew 6] Do not be like the hypocrites, For they love the show and stage. But I was told to close the door— To meet the Father face-to-face. [Chorus – They've Already Got Their Reward] They’ve already got their reward, All the likes and all the praise. But don’t think Heaven’s giving extra For the worship they displayed. It was never meant for status, Never meant to be adored— So when you post your righteousness, You’ve already got your reward. [Verse 2 – Prayers to Be Seen] Babbling prayers in public feeds, Thinking words will somehow make God move. But my Father knew my need Before my lips could even prove. You said go into your room, Shut the door and cry alone— But now they pray in comment threads Like it’s trending to be known. [Bridge – Jesus’ Voice (Spoken Scripture)] “When you fast, wash your face. When you give, do it quiet. When you pray, say: ‘Our Father in Heaven…’ Not to be heard by the riot.” [Final Chorus – The Secret Place Still Stands] They’ve already got their reward, Let the cameras fade to black. But I still choose the secret place Where no one claps me back. I won’t perform for algorithms, I won't preach for platform's sake— Let the Father see my worship In the silence that I make. [Outro – Your Original Voice] “It annoys me to no end To see them post their prayers online. Christ was clear. They’ve received their reward in full— And they won’t get another one… Not from Him.”
