NOTE: You can listen to a home recording of this song HERE.
Tell your family and your friends that God is real.
Tell your neighbors all around that God is real.
Tell each person you encounter God is real.
Yes, He’s real!
Can you keep such good news to yourself?
Tell your family and your friends that God is great.*
Tell your neighbors all around that God is great.*
Tell each person you encounter God is great.*
Yes, He’s great!*
Can you keep such good news to yourself?
Tell your family and your friends that God is love.
Tell your neighbors all around that God is love.
Tell each person you encounter God is love.
Yes, He’s love!
Can you keep such good news to yourself?
God loves us so much He sent His Son
To conquer sin and death; the victory’s won.
He gave us that good news to share.
Let’s tell the world how much we really care.
Tell your family and your friends that Jesus lives.
Tell your neighbors all around that Jesus lives.
Tell each person you encounter Jesus lives.
Yes, He lives!
Can you keep such good news to yourself?
Tell your family and your friends that Jesus saves.
Tell your neighbors all around that Jesus saves.
Tell each person you encounter Jesus saves.
Yes, He saves!
Can you keep such good news to yourself?
God loves us so much He sent His Son
To conquer sin and death; the victory’s won.
He gave us that good news to share.
Let’s tell the world how much we really care.
Let’s show the world how much we really care.
*replaced “good” with “great” to avoid having “good news” and “God is good”
About This Song:
In the early 2000s I went on a two-week mission trip to Jibou, Romania. The folks at the Baptist church there were so nice.
As we went around to minister at other churches in that vicinity, I learned that the Jibou church had planted most–if not all–of the other churches. That’s what I call spreading the Word.
At the end of our trip, I recall sitting in the back of the van as we drove to Budapest, Hungary (nearest airport). I was thinking about how evangelistic the members of the Jibou church were, and the idea for this song started to form.
I’d like to believe that singing this song and sharing it on this blog are two ways to share the truths of the Gospel with my family and friends, my neighbors, and everyone I encounter.
This is a good song to teach other people to sing, and you can add verses almost endlessly.
You can find a free PDF lead sheet (chords, melody, & lyrics) for this song on the drop down box at the Lead Sheets tab at the top of this page.
Look for me again next Wednesday. Better still, subscribe to receive these weekly posts by email.
Best regards,
