SHOUT THE NEWS that God is here
Let them know, let everyone know.
The silenced voice can sing again;
Let them know, let everyone know.
Shout it – let the sky give voice.
Shout it – let the earth applaud.
Shout it – let the sea make noise.
For our God is with us – for the poor and the faint.
With us – for the victim afraid.
With us – for the homeless again.
Yes our God of love, our God is great!
Shout the news that God is here;
Let them know, let everyone know.
The ones abandoned found again;
Let them know, let everyone know.
Shout it – let the sky give voice.
Shout it – let the earth applaud.
Shout it – let the sea make noise.
For our God is with us – for the worker unpaid.
With us – for the child like a slave.
With us – for the land that longs for rain.
Yes our God of love, our God is great!
Shout the news that God is here;
Let them know, let everyone know.
The hopeless can believe again;
Let them know, let everyone know.
Shout it – let the sky give voice.
Shout it – let the earth applaud.
Shout it – let the sea make noise.
For our God is with us – to be good news today.
With us – to be comfort in pain.
With us – to announce a better way.
Yes our God of love, our God is great!
