Before I came to the Lord, I played in a rock and roll band
We were out on the road, and played a lot of one night stands
Well, the Lord said "Don't stop, but now I want you playing for Me
"Get out and make joyful noise, and sing about Christ from Galilee"
"Marshalls and drums, cymbals and bass
Get out and blow 'em away; playin' for Me
You'll be playin' for me"
Maybe you think this is a funny thing for Christians to do
But we love Jesus, and we would like to show Him to you
God sent His Son to die on the cross for your sins
We'll make all the noise we can, so you'll believe in Him
Marshalls and drums, cymbals and bass
Get out and blow 'em away; playin' for Him
Christ Jesus the Lord, you know He's coming back pretty soon
And if you reject Him, you know you've sealed your own doom
The Lord Jesus, he wants to stand by your side
He's giving you heaven; if you say "no", hell opens wide
Marshalls and drums, cymbals and bass
We're up here making all of this noise
To tell you of Him
We want you to know Him
We're gonna sing about Him
