God is Not a Secret
Featuring Toby Mac
Music by Peter Furler
Lyrics by Steve Taylor, Peter Furler, & Toby McKeehan

Clap your hands, everybody.
Everybody just clap your hands.
Clap your hands, everybody.
Everybody just clap your hands.
Clap your hands, everybody.
Everybody just clap your hands.
Clap your hands, everybody.
Everybody just clap your hands.

You gotta step to it.
Come on, step to it.
You gotta step to it.
Come on, step to it.

(Attention all personnel:)

You don't understand.
This is not what you think it is.
You don't get it, man.
(You don't get it!)
You want to boil it down to show biz.
Your in-depth research shows:
(It shows nothing!)
Drop the God, emphasize the beat.
I've heard that positive pop you dig -
I'd rather be buried in wet concrete.

Take back your free advice.
I don't accept.
(You gotta step to it)
I will not play those games.
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)

You don't understand.
I'm not talking multiple choice.
You don't get it, man.
(You don't get it!)
If the cross offends you, find another voice.
I am not running for office here.
(Either I ain't quittin' or I ain't Clinton... can't tell)
I won't keep it purposefully vague.
I've heard that New Age life-force trip.
I'd rather be dipped in bubonic plague.

Take back your free advice.
I don't accept.
(You gotta step to it.)
I will not play those games.
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)

If we keep silent,
If we mass defect,
(You gotta step to it.)
These very rocks will scream.
God is not a secret to be kept.
God is not a secret to be kept.

(One two three and)

Faith ain't easy to understand
When a bird in the bush beats two in the hand.
But the truth ain't nothing to [unintelligible].
You gotta get up,
Put up,
Get off your backside.

I said faith ain't easy to understand
When a bird in the bush beats two in the hand.
The truth ain't nothing to hide.
You gotta get up,
Put up,
Get off your backside.
Get up,
Put up,
Get off your backside.

Take back your free advice.
I don't accept.
(You gotta step to it.)
I will not play those games.
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)

If we keep silent,
If we mass defect,
(I'm gonna step to it.)
These very rocks will scream.
God is not a secret to be kept.
God is not a secret to be kept.
God is not a secret to be kept.
(To be kept.)
God is not a secret to be kept.
