SHOUT FOR JOY

HEY, GLAD YOU'RE HERE
READY TO MAKE SOME NOISE
(WELL) MAKE IT A JOYFUL NOISE
LET'S DO IT
PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR
YEAH C'MON GET THEM UP NOW
HE'S LISTENING AND ALL HE WANTS US TO KNOW
IS IF YOU LOVE HIM
AND IF YOU DO LIKE WE DO, C'MON
PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND SHOUT

HOW DO I BEGIN TO TELL YOU 'BOUT THIS FRIEND
WHO'S LIKE NO OTHER
EVER SINCE THE DAY HE WALKED INTO MY LIFE
HE'S BEEN MORE LIKE A BORTHER

EVERYDAY, EVERY MINUTE
THERE'S A SHOWER OF LOVE I FEEL
SOMETHING I USED TO JUST IMAGINE
I TELL YOU NOW IT'S ALL FOR REAL
THAT'S WHY

I SHOUT FOR JOY
SING HIS PRAISES
LIFT MY VOICE
UNTO THE LORD(2X)

(PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND SHOUT)

NOW IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN
IT'S A FREE GIFT YOU KNOW
IT'S BEEN AN OPEN INVITATION
FOR EVERY MAN OR WOMAN
EVERY BOY OR GIRL
PEOPLE FROM EVERY NATION

LOOKING UP UNTO THE HEAVENS
PRAISING GOD FOR WHAT HE'S DONE
OOH, I CAN HEAR THE CHORUS SINGING
SINGING IN THEIR OWN NATIVE TONGUE

YOU GOTTA, YOU GOTTA
SHOUT FOR JOY
SING HIS PRAISES
LIFT YOUR VOICE
UNTO THE LORD

SHOUT FOR JOY
TELL HIM ALL ABOUT IT
LIFT YOUR VOICE
AND LET HIM KNOW

SHOUT FOR JOY
SING HIS PRAISES
LIFT YOUR VOICE
UNTO THE LORD

SHOUT FOR JOY
YOU GOTTA TELL HIM ALL ABOUT IT
LIFT YOUR VOICE
UNTO THE LORD
(THERE HE IS BY THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART)
(OPEN UP TO MAKE A BRAND NEW START)
LIKE HE SAID WHEN YOU SEEK, YOU SHALL FIND HIM

(THINK AGAIN IF YOU WANNA REFUSE)
(EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE)

I BELIEVE YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I MEAN

RAP: HEY, IT'S THE TRUTH
I'M TELLING YOU IT'S REAL
IT'S SOMETHING I BELIEVE THE WORLD SHOULD FEEL
I THINK WE KNOW
I THINK WE KNOW
ALL THE FACTS
THERE'S ONLY ONE, ONE TO PUT US BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK
PEOPLE IN THE WEST, EAST, NORTH AND SOUTH
PEOPLE WHO THINK I'M JUST BLABBING MY MOUTH
IT AIN'T GONNA WORK
I'M NEVER GONNA GIVE IT UP
TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY SHOULD DEFINTELY KNOW ABOUT

(THERE HE IS BY THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART)
(OPEN UP TO MAKE A BRAND NEW START)

LIKE HE SAID WHEN YOU SEEK, YOU SHALL FIND HIM

(THINK AGAIN IF YOU WANT TO REFUSE)
(EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE)

I CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT HIM
BUT ALL YOU GOTTA DO
IS SAY "JESUS IS LORD!"
YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU

ADLIB:
