Lyrics

Ain't no rock, gonna cry in my place
as long as I'm alive I'll glorify his holy name.
(REPEAT)


Chorus
Praise the Lord, praise His name,
As long as I'm alive I'll glorify his holy name
(REPEAT)


Ain't no bird, gonna flap it's feathers
As long as I'm alive I'll glorify his holy name.
(REPEAT)


(CHORUS)


Ain't no tree, gonna wave it's branches.
As long as I'm alive I'll glorify his holy name.
(REPEAT)


(CHORUS)


Ain't no rock, gonna cry in my place.
Long as I'm alive, I'll glorify his holy name.
(REPEAT)


(CHORUS 2X)

Meaning & Inspiration

“Ain’t No Rock” presents praise as a personal responsibility that cannot be handed over to creation. Rocks, birds, and trees become playful contrasts for the singer’s resolve to glorify God while life and breath remain. The repeated chorus keeps the message simple: the Lord’s name deserves active, joyful praise. Its images and recurring phrases make the declaration especially accessible for children and group participation.

The opening image recalls Luke 19:40, where Jesus says that the stones would cry out if his disciples became silent. The song turns that saying into a cheerful commitment not to remain quiet. Psalm 150:6 provides another close connection through its call for everything that has breath to praise the Lord. Birds flapping and trees waving also suggest a world that displays its Creator’s glory, while the human voice offers deliberate worship. Across each verse, the same confession returns with clarity: as long as the singer is alive, praise belongs to God and his holy name.
