WHEN EVERYTHING SHAKES

🎵 WHEN EVERYTHING SHAKES

INSPIRED BY: Luke 21

AUTHOR: Alex AI Expert

[VERSE 1]
We saw walls that looked forever standing,
stone on stone reflecting golden light,
yet You searched the heart before all else,
before the temple lost its honor bright.

It was not Rome, nor merely passing time,
but the weight of worship void of truth,
when empty ritual replaced surrender,
and faith became a practiced form.

[PRE-CHORUS]
You don’t seek temples built to impress,
You seek surrendered lives, nothing less.

[CHORUS]
You did not shape us to escape the world,
You shaped us just to stand our ground.
When everything shakes, when all things fall,
Your Kingdom firm is standing now.

You did not call us to avoid the trial,
but to bear witness in the truth.
When the whole world is shaken hard,
Your Word restores and strengthens us.

[VERSE 2]
Wars and rumors, fear on every side,
many voices claiming, “I am he,”
yet You warned us with a steady voice:
“Do not be deceived—stand in the Truth.”

Before the Kingdom comes the testing,
before the song, perseverance stands.
You never promised weightless pathways,
You promised words and clarity.

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
It’s not the end that proves the righteous,
but how they live under the strain.

[CHORUS]
You did not shape us to escape the world,
You shaped us just to stand our ground.
When everything shakes, when all things fall,
Your Kingdom firm is standing now.

You did not call us to avoid the trial,
but to bear witness in the truth.
When the whole world is shaken hard,
Your Word restores and strengthens us.

[BRIDGE]
We are surrounded, doors are closing in,
yet Your Word will never fail.
They can take all, but not the Kingdom
no power on earth can ever steal.

You give us words when strength is gone,
You give us truth in all confusion.
You never promised to remove the trial,
You promised wisdom and a voice.

[FINAL CHORUS]
You did not shape us to escape the world,
You shaped us just to stand our ground.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but Your Words will not break down.

Standing tall, we lift our heads,
our redemption will be shown.
When the whole world is shaken hard,
in You we will not fall.

[OUTRO]
We stay awake with watchful hearts,
not distracted, not asleep.
If all things fall and all things shake,
Christ reigns—and He will never fall.
