Story Behind The Song
As a Christian I am tired of people feeling helpless to change big things for the better. This was written to empower people to affect positive change...to see that they do impact the world around them but they must choose what effect they have.
Song Description

Lyrics
It wasn't long ago in history we know
The school day was changed by a woman on a mission
She won her case that we cannot erase
But we don't stop praying just because they say so
One voice took our prayer from school,
One voice made it against the rule
One voice said we're not allowed
To pray to the God on whom we founded our nation
One voice is all it takes for change, one voice can totally rearrange
One voice is what you got so use it or lose it ready or not
You can't have everything, do you hear me when I sing
But you don't have to wait for someone to dictate
You have worth and on this earth
That means you have a say in how things go today
One voice set the captives free; one voice saved a wretch like me
One voice cleanses all my sin; nobody cleans like Jesus my savior
One voice is all it takes for change, one voice can totally rearrange
One voice is what you got, so use it or lose it ready or not
You might be amazed, if we just keep our gaze
On the power who raised, Jesus from the grave
He was just one voice; He leaves you with a choice
If you're gonna' change the world
Then go out and make some noise!
The enemy is counting on you to stay quiet,
To think you're a droplet in the seas of the world,
The longer that we sit around stayin' silent
Like we buried our talent from the Lord,
How can He call us faithful servants?
If we don't stand up and face our giants
I don't mean to offend, please hear me when,
I say I answer to God, before I answer to men.
One voice took our prayer from school,
One voice made it against the rule
One voice said we're not allowed
To pray to the God on whom we founded our nation
One voice set the captives free; one voice saved a wretch like me
One voice cleanses all my sin; nobody cleans like Jesus my savior
One voice is all it takes for change, one voice can totally rearrange
One voice is what you got, so use it or lose it ready or not
