This song expresses the singer's devotion to glorifying God's holy name through their own actions, as no inanimate objects like rocks, trees, or birds can take their place in doing so. The singer pledges to lift their hands, voice, and whole life to praise God for as long as they are alive.

1. Ain’t No
Rock

2. Ain't no rock gonna cry
in my place
As long as I'm alive I'll
glorify His holy name

3. Praise His holy name!
As long as I'm alive I'll
glorify His holy name!

4. Ain't no tree gonna lift
its branches
I lift my hands to glorify
His holy name...

5. Ain't no bird gonna sing
in my place
I lift my voice to glorify
His holy name...

6. Ain't no bird gonna sing
in my place
I lift my voice to glorify
His holy name...
