Lyrics Sound It Out - Jon Simpson

Lift up your heads, all you in chains
You fettered, yoked to lives of shame
Freedom has come to you this day
All wounded ones, all you who mourn
All bruised and beaten, broken, torn
Mercy has come to you this day

Sound it out - let doors be opened
Sound it out - all chains be broken
Sound it out - truth be spoken to this land

All blinded eyes in need of sight
Perceiving neither dark nor light
Vision has come to you this day
Each worried soul, all you who fear
Anxious behind a brave veneer
Love has come to you this day

Sound it out - let doors be opened
Sound it out - all chains be broken
Sound it out - truth be spoken to this land
Sound it out - mothers and fathers
Sound it out - you sons and daughters
Sound it out - the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand

Test the heights, plumb the depths
Scan the breadth beyond all knowing
Love extends still further on - taste and see
There is hope in a name
There is life in a life given
Love has triumphed over darkness - taste and see

Sound it out - let doors be opened
Sound it out - all chains be broken
Sound it out - truth be spoken to this land
Sound it out - mothers and fathers
Sound it out - you sons and daughters
Sound it out - the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand
Sound it out
