Jason Gray's 'Laugh Out Loud' is a joyful Christian song celebrating the freedom and gratitude that come from being forgiven and adopted into God's family. The lyrics contrast a past of fear, shame, and spiritual emptiness with the present reality of belonging to God and receiving His grace. This transformation leads to an irrepressible joy that expresses itself in laughter and praise. The song encourages listeners to release their heavy hearts and trust God, even in dark times, finding hope and peace in His presence. It's a lighthearted yet profound reminder that true joy is rooted in God's love and salvation.

I shake my head at my good fortune
As I shake the dust off of my boots
Yesterday I was an orphan
Somehow today I belong to You
Somehow today I belong to You
Ha ha, don't it make you wanna laugh out loud?
Ooh ooh, and shout, "Hallelujah!"
Oh yeah, if you got joy go and let it on out
Ha ha ha ha, laugh out loud
I was alive but I wasn't living
A prisoner of my fear and shame
But when you find you've been forgiven
Laughter will rise like a holy kind of praise
So I throw my head back and offer up my thanks!
Ha ha, don't it make you wanna laugh out loud?
Ooh ooh, and shout, "Hallelujah!"
Oh yeah, if you got joy go and let it on out
Ha ha ha ha
He said bring to me your heavy heart
Take my hand and we'll go whistling in the dark
Here we go now!
Ha ha, don't it make you wanna laugh out loud?
Ooh ooh, and shout, "Hallelujah!"
Oh yeah, if you got joy go and let it on out
Ha ha ha ha, laugh out loud
[x2]
Ha ha ha ha, laugh out loud
