Lyrics
They tied his hands,
But not his voice.
They built the fire,
He made his choice.
A king on a throne,
A prophet in chains.
One held the power...
One carried the flame.
You can silence a man...
You can't silence the truth.
Truth doesn't burn.
Truth doesn't break.
Throw it in the fire...
It still remains.
Ashes may fall.
Smoke fills the sky.
But truth keeps living...
Long after we die.
Go ahead, stack the wood,
Strike the spark.
You can light the flames,
You can't dim the Light.
Chains on my wrists,
But never my soul.
When Heaven says stand,
You don't let go.
Kings lose kingdoms.
Crowns hit dirt.
The Word keeps walking
When the proud get hurt.
Burn the messenger...
Do your worst.
You'll only prove...
Truth doesn't burn.
The fire reached his body...
But never touched his soul.
One voice became a thousand...
As the years began to roll.
One man heard it...
One heart changed.
Walked away different,
Never stayed the same.
Couldn't stop the fire.
Couldn't stop the truth.
Now it's burning in
A faithful few.
From hidden waters
To every land,
One small witness
Became God's plan.
From father to son,
Generation to generation,
Truth outlives the flames...
That's our foundation.
Now the message lives.
Now the faithful learn.
You can burn the preacher...
Truth doesn't burn.
Truth doesn't burn.
Truth doesn't break.
Throw it in the fire...
It still remains.
Ashes may fall.
Smoke fills the sky.
But truth keeps living...
Long after we die.
Truth doesn't burn.
Truth doesn't fade.
Heaven keeps speaking...
Age after age.
Flames have an ending.
God's Word remains.
Truth doesn't burn...
It lights the flame.
Burn the messenger...
If you must.
The message...
Still lives.
