Got to Tell the Story

Saul left for Damascus
Breathing murder and hate
With a handful of warrants
I suspected his fate
He met the Lord on the highway
He turned his life all around
He spent the rest of his days
Telling everyone
All about the Savior he'd found

He had to tell the story
Jesus set him free
Give God the glory
For the victory
Shoutin' hallelujah
The whole day long
Singin' over and over
Salvation's song

Now a man named Cornelius
Was a soldier of Rome
He sent a message to Peter
To come and preach at his home
The Holy Spirit descended
On everyone in the crowd
Everybody was speakin' in tongues
And prayin' and shoutin' out loud

He had to tell the story
Jesus set him free
Give God the glory
For the victory
Shoutin' hallelujah
The whole day long
Singin' over and over
Salvation's song

I was bound by Satan
But Jesus set me free
Filled me up with His Spirit
For all eternity
Gave me decent direction
Took the weight of my load
Gave me so much joy in my heart
That I feel like I'm going to explode

I got to tell the story
Jesus set me free
Give God the glory
For the victory
Shoutin' hallelujah
The whole day long
Singin' over and over
Salvation's song

I got to tell the story
Jesus set me free
Give God the glory
For the victory
Shoutin' hallelujah
The whole day long
Singin' over and over and over
Salvation's song
