WE LAUGH AT SHAME [Intro] You again? Same old sentence. Same old dirt. We know that trick. [Verse 1] You show up like a judge in a borrowed mouth. "You're not enough." "They're gonna leave." "Don't you get happy." We heard you. We read the Book. You don't get the gavel. [Chorus] WE LAUGH AT SHAME. Not at the wounded. At the liar. You ain't God. You ain't the Judge. You don't get to name us. WE LAUGH AT SHAME. Hope maketh not ashamed. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Ha— you don't fool us tonight. [Verse 2] You can talk. You can heat the face. You can rattle the old room. But we know what you add to a sentence nobody said. What happened was real. What you named her was not. [Chorus] WE LAUGH AT SHAME. The child is not the stain. The gift can stay. The chair didn't move. WE LAUGH AT SHAME. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. HA! [Bridge] Whenever you come— we laugh. Not cruel. JUST FREE. A sound you cannot translate into dirt. Fear knocks. Faith answers. The rock is in the hand. One gift. One thank You. THANK YOU, LORD. [Breakdown] Oh— you're back? "You're not enough." Heard it. "They're gonna leave." Heard it. "Nothing ever changed." HEARD IT. [Silence] Same translator. Same trick. And now— WE KNOW YOU. [Final Chorus] WE LAUGH AT SHAME! You cannot scare us like you used to. You cannot fool us like you used to. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, DESPISING THE SHAME. So shame— sit down. We know your trick. WE'RE NOT BOWING. [Outro] You again? [Small Laugh] Nice try. [Silence] JESUS IS THE LORD.
