The most subtle form of idolatry is the pride that secretly worships self. This song attacks the roots of pride with heartfelt worship. desiringgod.or...
This guy is in one of my seminary classes with me. He is by far one of the smartest and most humble individuals I have ever met. Great guy and great artist (Obvi).
Every Christian should listen to this song. Matthew 10:37- "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
LYRICS: below are the lyrics taken from Desiring God. They speak of such great repentance for Christ...beautiful. Clear the Stage 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 and all the decorations too, Until the congregation’s 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 I 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. And we can sing all we want to. And we can sing all we want to. We can sing all we want to, And still get it wrong. 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.
THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE LYRIC SHAWN. BEAUTIFUL REMINDER ... HOPE WE CHILDREN OF GOD .... REMEMBER EACH DAY HOW GREAT HE IS AND HOW HUMBLE AND AWE WE SHOULD BE BEFORE HIM.
This song convicted me soooo much when I first heard it, I almost hated it. But now I see that God is the only thing worthy of that place, and He IS worthy. He is genuinely good and righteous and worthy of eternal worship. This song really helps to put things into perspective, I really enjoyed listening to it here.
@@faithmarie3808 This was one of the songs that has impacted him the most. So, when he was recording his record in 2012, he wanted to include this in the record. He called Ross King, got permission, and put it on his record too. :) He says it everything in a special video. You can find it on youtube if you type "Clear the Stage Jimmy Needham."
Sitting here at work listening to this song and reading the words along with it. So beautiful and lovely. Listening over and over and crying and crying. Crying is cleansing. Praise God. Thank you Jesus.
These lyrics came straight from the throne room to my ears, cut through my soul like a knife and will delicately heal as I apply what I have heard. Thank you.
Amazing song! Such a blessing!! We must never forget WHOM our singing and worship is for! As humans we tend to worship our worship. I am guilty of it for certain! I am reminded in this song that if I love anyone or anything above my God it’s an idol! Thank you for sharing this!

Dear Jimmy, You have given Christendom a gem of a song which we need to hear (and sing and act upon) over and over again. So true and so beautiful, and so beautifully sung and performed. THANK YOU!
Anything that I put before my God, is an idol. Anything that I give all my love, is an idol. Anything that I can't stop thinking about, is an idol. Those phrases makes me realized the real thing that I am going through. The real present I am into. These words breaks my perspective and desires for something that I really wanted, something I'd really love to be with, something that I can't get over through. Words cannot define how much love I received when I first heard the whole song, and on how I phrasely analyzed each stanza that it's telling me for. I love my God more than this idols. I love singing worships that will pierces my heart and lift up my spirit. I love the love He is giving to me, so defying, so unpredictable. His' timings, His' worthiness and His' whisper that crashes all of my arguments. I found myself crying, and it was so painful. It was, but it is also tears for a new beginning. A hope that it's never too late to stand up and move forward with Him. His glory and might withstand any struggle in any circumstances. Even the deceitful heart are nothing against His will.
Remember to smash down fortress(es) of lie(s) with the Word of God, not with sorrow(s) of the world which leads to death (compared to godly sorrow(s) which lead(s) to salvation).
Ho conosciuto questo cantico tramite un piano della Bibbia su You Version: "Ascoltare la voce di Dio" di Amy Groeschel.. Lo consigliava in un devozionale. Davvero bello! Dio ti benedica Jimmy!❤
A cada dia devemos observar pra perceber se o palco já está sendo tomado por ídolos que devagarinho vão sendo entronados! O único que merece ser adorado e erguido em nossas vidas é Jesus Cristo! Que canção viva! Glória a Deus 🥰
Beautiful. Render your heart before God and learn what it really, truly means to Worship God. This is not the kind of Christian music that would make it on K-Love...
Hi my name is Andrew Needham and I too love our lord Jesus. I have just discovered your channel by accident and your music is pleasant to hear God bless you
Found this as mentioned on the Living Waters podcast about Nehemiah, probably best not to listen to it a public place as very convicting but in a beautiful way
Love this song and it has beautiful and real and thought-provoking lyrics. What is true worship? Are we doing it out of habit or tradition or do we truly worship in truth and in spirit because we want to because we yearn to? This should receive more views.
Limpe o Palco Limpe o palco, ajuste o som e os holofotes Se essa é a medida que você deve tomar para acabar com os ídolos Remova os bancos e todas as decorações também Até que aos poucos a congregação tenha avivamento Diga a seus amigos que é aqui onde a festa termina Até que você esteja arrependido de seus pecados, você não pode socializar Então busque o senhor e espere por aquilo que ele tem disponível E saiba que é grande a sua recompensa, então apenas tenha esperança Porque você pode cantar tudo que quiser Sim, você pode cantar tudo que quiser Você pode cantar tudo que quiser E ainda assim não entender Adoração é mais que uma canção Faça uma pausa de todos os planos que você fez E fique em casa sozinho esperando Deus sussurrar Implore a ele, por favor, para abrir a boca e falar E ore com sinceridade de joelhos, até criarem calos Brilhe a luz em cada canto da sua vida Até que o orgulho, luxúria e mentiras sejam descobertos Então leia a palavra e ponha à prova o que você ouviu Até que o seu coração e alma estejam agitados, abalados e quebrantados Porque você pode cantar tudo que quiser Sim, você pode cantar tudo que quiser Você pode cantar tudo que quiser E ainda assim não entender; adoração é mais que uma canção Não devemos adorar algo que não vale a pena Limpe o palco, dê lugar para quem merece Qualquer coisa que eu colocar antes do meu Deus é um ídolo Qualquer coisa que eu desejo com todo o meu coração é um ídolo Qualquer coisa que eu não consigo parar de pensar é um ídolo Qualquer coisa que eu dou todo o meu amor é um ídolo Porque eu posso cantar tudo que eu quero Sim, eu posso cantar tudo que eu quero Podemos todos cantar o que queremos Podemos todos cantar o que queremos Podemos todos catar o que queremos E ainda não entender Adoração é mais que uma canção Limpe o palco, ajuste o som e os holofotes Se essa é a medida que você deve tomar para acabar com os ídolos
Can someone explain to me the first couple lines of the song? English is not my mother tounge. „Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze If that's the measure you must take to crush the idols“ what exactly does that mean? I’m thankful for any help!
To me, it means that many people have come to idolize the physical church. So that line means to strip the church down to it's bare bones where we dont worship the music, preacher, etc and our focus is solely on God.
And yet REVIVAL is comeback to HIS WAYS = TORAH. HE came in flesh, TORAH became flesh.... First 4 commandments how to LOVE GOD and remaining 6, how to LOVE NEIGHBOUR. DEFINED
This guy is in one of my seminary classes with me. He is by far one of the smartest and most humble individuals I have ever met. Great guy and great artist (Obvi).
He is the lead worship pastor at Stonegate church in midlothian, Texas. He occasionally gives a few sermons here and there as well
Whoaaaa 🔥🔥🔥
Believe it he seems a lovely guy! His voice is amazing!
That's awesome! I hope I can also study in seminary!
This song breaks me each time and lead me to fall on my knees and seek the heart of God
I wish I could give this song an extra thumbs up every time I watch the video.
One of the most lowkey rebuking songs I've ever heard. Thanks for this reminder
Every Christian should listen to this song.
Matthew 10:37-
"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
What a prophetic song for our times. How we desperately need "spirit and truth" worship and living.
LYRICS:
below are the lyrics taken from Desiring God. They speak of such great repentance for Christ...beautiful.
Clear the Stage
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 and all the decorations too, Until the congregation’s 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 I 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.
And we can sing all we want to.
And we can sing all we want to.
We can sing all we want to,
And still get it wrong.
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.
Thank You

Thank you
Thank you.
A song God used to break me down and thus restore my joy in Christ and our marriage. THankful for Ross KIng and Jimmy Needham who made it popular.
SO true!
Causes me to cry out for more and more of HIS PRESENCE!!!
This song convicted me soooo much when I first heard it, I almost hated it. But now I see that God is the only thing worthy of that place, and He IS worthy. He is genuinely good and righteous and worthy of eternal worship. This song really helps to put things into perspective, I really enjoyed listening to it here.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written- Thanks Jimmy
Indeed. But he didn't write it
@@faithmarie3808 Ross King released it in 2002. Jimmy released it in 2012. Maybe they cowrote it?

Dear Jimmy,
You have given Christendom a gem of a song which we need to hear (and sing and act upon) over and over again. So true and so beautiful, and so beautifully sung and performed. THANK YOU!
Oh my. 😢 so many memories
Anything that I put before my God, is an idol.
Anything that I give all my love, is an idol.
Anything that I can't stop thinking about, is an idol.
Those phrases makes me realized the real thing that I am going through. The real present I am into. These words breaks my perspective and desires for something that I really wanted, something I'd really love to be with, something that I can't get over through.
Words cannot define how much love I received when I first heard the whole song, and on how I phrasely analyzed each stanza that it's telling me for.

I love singing worships that will pierces my heart and lift up my spirit.
I love the love He is giving to me, so defying, so unpredictable. His' timings, His' worthiness and His' whisper that crashes all of my arguments.
I found myself crying, and it was so painful.
It was, but it is also tears for a new beginning. A hope that it's never too late to stand up and move forward with Him. His glory and might withstand any struggle in any circumstances.
Even the deceitful heart are nothing against His will.
Keep singing, Jimmy. You’re an inspiration. Don’t stop.
YES!!
This touched my heart immediately. Thank you
Awesome! What a deep and powerful song about the roots of our motivations to worship! Touches me deeply! 🙌 from Switzerland
Thank God for this song. I couldn't find a song that I could sing and still speak the truth as I know it.
Remember to smash down fortress(es) of lie(s) with the Word of God, not with sorrow(s) of the world which leads to death (compared to godly sorrow(s) which lead(s) to salvation).
This is what i needed to hear. Wow tears . 😭 really had me thinking .
I feel you.. Evrytime i heard this song makes me go in tears with joy and sadness mix emotions 💚
Shine a light on every corner of your life until the pride and lust and lies are in the open!!🙏🙏
Regina Mcphetridge amen from Algeria Jésus is alive
Years later (from this song’s inception) I’m watching with a breaking heart. Truth is? I believe Jesus’ romance is for everyone.
Ho conosciuto questo cantico tramite un piano della Bibbia su You Version: "Ascoltare la voce di Dio" di Amy Groeschel.. Lo consigliava in un devozionale.
Davvero bello! Dio ti benedica Jimmy!❤

Limpe o Palco
Limpe o palco, ajuste o som e os holofotes
Se essa é a medida que você deve tomar para acabar com os ídolos
Remova os bancos e todas as decorações também
Até que aos poucos a congregação tenha avivamento
Diga a seus amigos que é aqui onde a festa termina
Até que você esteja arrependido de seus pecados, você não pode socializar
Então busque o senhor e espere por aquilo que ele tem disponível
E saiba que é grande a sua recompensa, então apenas tenha esperança
Porque você pode cantar tudo que quiser
Sim, você pode cantar tudo que quiser
Você pode cantar tudo que quiser
E ainda assim não entender
Adoração é mais que uma canção
Faça uma pausa de todos os planos que você fez
E fique em casa sozinho esperando Deus sussurrar
Implore a ele, por favor, para abrir a boca e falar
E ore com sinceridade de joelhos, até criarem calos
Brilhe a luz em cada canto da sua vida
Até que o orgulho, luxúria e mentiras sejam descobertos
Então leia a palavra e ponha à prova o que você ouviu
Até que o seu coração e alma estejam agitados, abalados e quebrantados
Porque você pode cantar tudo que quiser
Sim, você pode cantar tudo que quiser
Você pode cantar tudo que quiser
E ainda assim não entender; adoração é mais que uma canção
Não devemos adorar algo que não vale a pena
Limpe o palco, dê lugar para quem merece
Qualquer coisa que eu colocar antes do meu Deus é um ídolo
Qualquer coisa que eu desejo com todo o meu coração é um ídolo
Qualquer coisa que eu não consigo parar de pensar é um ídolo
Qualquer coisa que eu dou todo o meu amor é um ídolo
Porque eu posso cantar tudo que eu quero
Sim, eu posso cantar tudo que eu quero
Podemos todos cantar o que queremos
Podemos todos cantar o que queremos
Podemos todos catar o que queremos
E ainda não entender
Adoração é mais que uma canção
Limpe o palco, ajuste o som e os holofotes
Se essa é a medida que você deve tomar para acabar com os ídolos
2020, tão atual...
