Hearts begin to come alive
You see hope in empty eyes
When they hear it, when they hear it
Light starts pushing back the dark
Rushing in to where they are
When they hear it, when they hear it
Any time the truth's released
It's gonna set the captives free
You'll see it, oh, you'll see it
Sing it, shout it
There's wonder-working power
When they hear it, when they hear it
It changes nations
Miracles will happen
When they hear it, when they hear it
Where there once were enemies
Brothers reconcile in peace
When they hear it, when they hear it
See the Spirit on the move
To do what only He can do
When they hear it, when they hear it
Oh, any time the truth's released
It's gonna set the captives free
You'll see it, oh, you'll see it
Sing it, shout it
There's wonder-working power
When they hear it, when they hear it
It changes nations
Miracles will happen
When they hear it, when they hear it
Let it echo from the highest mountains
There's not a wall that's high enough to stop it
Let the earth hear of this good news, this good news
Sing it, shout it
There's wonder-working power
Sing it, shout it
There's wonder-working power
When they hear it, when they hear it
It changes nations
Miracles will happen
When they hear it, when they hear it
Let them hear it
Let them hear it
