Sing it loud!

Solo

Before I knew the road I’d travel, 
Before I knew the tears I’d cry, 
There was a hand that held my future, 
There was a love that stood nearby. 

And when my song was almost silent, 
When my faith was running low, 
He placed a melody within me, 
And taught my heart a song to know. 

  
Verse 1- duet

I have walked through valleys where the shadows whispered, 
“Child, the sun shall curse you as you walk” 
But the Lord was writing every hidden chapter, 
Long before my battle had begun. 

Every tear became a river of redemption, 
Every scar became a story of His grace. 
What I thought was the ending of my journey 
Was the moment He was making me a way. 

Chorus 

Sing it loud, sing it higher, 
Let the whole earth know His name. 
God who found me in pain 
Changed my fate in a special way

He turned my mourning into dancing, 
Put a praise inside my soul. 
Now my heart has found a rhythm, 
And His love has made me whole. 

  
Verse 2- small group

I remember all the nights I called upon Him, 
When the answer seemed so far away. 
But heaven was moving in the quiet, 
Preparing blessings for me 

He was gathering my broken pieces, 
He was healing what the world could not. 
Now I stand as living proof 
A miracle made by His hands 

Bridge –solo and all ( call and response) 

Solo: Who gave the rivers their direction? 
All:  The Lord Almighty! 

Solo: Who holds the stars up in the heavens? 
All: Our Redeemer! 

Solo: Who takes a heart that’s lost and weary? 
All: And makes it sing again! 

All: 
From every nation, every people, 
We will praise Him to the end! 

Pre-chorus

Oh, I’ve got a reason to sing! 
I’ve got a reason to shout! 
The chains have fallen away, 
The light has driven out the doubt! 

Oh, my Redeemer lives! 
Oh, my Savior reigns! 
The song He placed inside me 
Will forever bless His name! 

  
Final Chorus 

Sing it loud, sing it higher, 
Let the whole earth know His name. 
The God who wrote my story 
Will forever stay the same. 

From generation to generation, 
We will lift our voices strong. 
For the One who gave us victory 
Has been writing this song all along. 

Outro  

A song heaven taught me… 
A song my heart will carry… 
A song of grace forever… 
A song that will never fade.

Excellent faith lyric, Chisom. Beautiful articulation of glory to God. I love the flow & especially the Outro. I can imagine the music to this lyric. It is very logical how you’ve divided lyric into solo, duet & chorus. Well done in Contest. I’m liking. Shine on, Ghairo. 😊
