We used to tune in to a local Christian station when they'd play old radio dramas for kids or maybe "Stories of Great Christians", and I admit I did enjoy listening to Adrian Rogers every now and then.

But now, overall, it's not worth the effort to turn my radio on. Half of Christian radio sounds just like either the pop stations or alternative "hipster millennial neckbeard full tatted sleeves wanna-be meth head but never got real" so called rock stations, or else like music for a quiet visitation at a funeral home.

I can still hear Adrian Rodgers speaking from a sermon that I had heard from him when I was a teen!

He was alive still in those days. He is probably one of the only Baptist preachers I enjoy listening to-- even today. His solid, Bible-based ministry speaks from the grave to countless Christians.

I remember listening to, "Adventures In Odyssey," as a kid and as an adult.

However, as a kid, even as a teen, and much matured adult, there are only two "shows" that captivated my attention in a way I don't know how to describe.

"Alfredo Hitchcock Presents" and "UNSHACKLED". Something about the music and the voices of the narrators in both shows. Stills grips me. Maybe the both remind me of Judgment Day... I can't really describe it. Sorry.

Clear the Stage (Jimmy Needham)
Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze

If that's the measure you must take to crush the idols


Jerk the pews & all the decorations, too 

Until the congregations few, then have revival


Tell your friends that this is where the party ends 

Until you're broken for your sins, you can't be social


Then seek the Lord and wait for what He has in store 

And know that great is your reward so just be hopeful



'Cause you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong;
worship is more than a song



Take a break from all the plans that you have made 

And sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper


Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak

And pray for real upon your knees until they blister


Shine the light on every corner of your life

Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open


Then read the Word and put to test the things you've heard 

Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken


'Cause you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song


We must not worship something that's not even worth it

Clear the stage, make some space for the One who deserves it



Anything I put before my God, is an idol
Anything I want with all my heart, is an idol
Anything can't stop thinking of, is an idol
Anything that I give all my love, is an idol

'Cause I can sing all I want to

Yes, I can sing all I want to
I can sing all I want to

And still get it wrong

And you can sing all you want to

Yes, you can, you can sing all you want to

You can sing all you want to

And still get it wrong; worship is more than a song
Worship is more than a song

Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze

If that's the measure you must take to crush the idols
