Let It Out

Here Be Lions' “Let It Out” is a high-energy worship song about praise that cannot be held in. The opening lines say the singer has a praise that will break off heavy chains, a song that makes hell begin to shake, and a shout that brings dead men from their graves.

The verses ask why anyone would stay silent when God is the one who told them to speak, and why they would need a person's permission or religion when the Spirit of God lives inside them. The chorus answers with a refrain of being unashamed and unafraid. The bridge describes a fire shut up in the bones and a passion burning in the soul that runs wild and out of control. The song ends with a promise to sing until the voice is gone, then to make some noise anyway, and to keep praising God no matter what people say. The driving beat and the shouted refrain make it easy for a crowd to join, so it suits a youth gathering, a concert opener or any service that wants to move from quiet to loud. It also works for a person who has been shy about their faith and needs a push to speak up.

Not being ashamed of the gospel is Romans 1:16. A fire in the bones is Jeremiah 20:9, and everything that breathes praising the Lord is Psalm 150:6.
