Shout Out Your Joy

by Darryl Ducote

Chorus:

 CM7            Dm7             CM7            Dm7

 Shout out your joy and let the world see your gladness,

         CM7         Dm7      CM7   Dm7

 For the Lord, He is with us again! 

 CM7       Dm7           CM7         Dm7

 Now He is risen and His Spirit He's given

          CM7         Dm7           CM7 Dm7

 And He's promised to stay 'til the end 

 C             Em              F             C

 Strong is our joy because the Lord is still with us;

 C              Bb           F           G

 Once he seemed lost and overcome by the earth

 C        Em                F           C

 He has returned, and once again He has loved us,

 F         C         G     G7

 Giving us all a new birth 

 His love is great, because He carried our failings;

 He gave His all, and yet for this He was slain

 He proved His love, and so the Father did raise Him,

 Making His Lord once again

 Don't be afraid or let your heart become troubled,

 Even though wars and hatred may never cease;

 He will grant life to all who stay in His friendship,

 And to His friends He gives peace

 We are His friends if we do what He commands us;

 We should not fear to know our life will soon end,

 For, like the Lord, we know the Father will love us;

 We, too, will rise once again.
