I speak the words of life and peace. Of love that sets the captives free But they all think I'm full of hate, Twisting every word I say (I won't back down) Through God my strength I will not be put to shame (I won't back down) So call me what you want, I don't care what you say Your words they pierce me but it doesn't matter anyway I'll live this word till my dying day Upon this Rock I will stay This world has tried to drown me out With hands of hate they push me down I won't relent I will go forth With my voice I'll proclaim His worth So call me what you want, I don't care what you say Your words they pierce me but it doesn't matter anyway I'll live this word till my dying day Upon this Rock I will stay This love has captivated me, I once was blind but now I see This light that guides the wondering soul, Heals the sick and makes them whole I cannot keep from speaking out, this world it cannot hold me down So listen up, my God's alive, and for His holy name I would die So call me what you want, I don't care what you say Your words they pierce me but it doesn't matter anyway I'll live this word till my dying day Upon this Rock I will stay
