Verse 1 – Boy Band

BOY 1:

We walked through the fire,

We came through the rain,

Carrying our faith

Through every kind of pain.

We got a little soul,

We got a little blues,

Got the Word in our hearts

And nothing left to lose.

So turn that organ higher,

Let that guitar cry,

We're gonna raise our voices

Till they shake the sky!

GIRL 1:

You boys better listen,

'Cause we're bringing the flame!

GIRL 2:

We got gospel in our hearts

And Jesus in our name!

You can bring your rhythm,

You can bring your sound,

But when the sisters start singing,

We're gonna shake the ground!

We heard you!

Then answer back!

I got scars on mine!

But His mercy kept shining—

GIRL 2:

Through the darkest night!

Till He called my name!

And we're never the same!
