Shout It Out
Song Meaning
PlanetShakers build this one around a simple, repeated instruction rather than a developing story: "I'm gonna raise my hands, gonna shout it out, gonna tell the world what He's all about."
"I'm gonna raise my voice, gonna shout it loud, that the King is here, He's moving right now" keeps the urgency present tense throughout, echoing the Psalms' own repeated command to make a joyful shout to God.
"C'mon get up, the King is here, there's something happening in the atmosphere" treats the moment of worship as an actual event unfolding in real time, not a remembered feeling from somewhere else.
"Australia, Australia, Australia's on fire, we don't need the devil 'cause the devil is a liar" grounds the song in a specific place and moment rather than staying generic, naming the opposing voice directly before dismissing it. "His Love, His Grace, spread the word around" closes the loop between the shouting and the actual reason for it.
I'm gonna raise my hands
Gonna shout it out
Gonna tell the world
What He's all about
I'm gonna raise my voice
Gonna shout it loud
That the King is here
He's moving right now
C'mon get up
The King is here
There's something happening
In the atmosphere
Jump up! Jump up!
Jump up and shout it out
The King is here
Go tell the world about
His Love, His Grace
Spread the word around
Jump up! Jump up!
Jump up and shout it out
Australia, Australia
Australia's on fire
We don't need the devil
'Cause the devil is a liar
