Tell the World
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want to stand here and shout Your praise
And walk away and forget Your Name
I'll stand for you if it's all I do
'Cause there is none that compare to You

'Cause all I want in this lifetime is You
And all i want in this whole world is you
Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that he died for them
Tell the world that he lives again

No longer I but Christ in me
'Cause it's the truth that set me free
How could this world be a better place?
But by thy mercy and by thy grace

C'mon, c'mon we'll tell the world about You
C'mon, c'mon we'll tell the world about You

Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that he died for them
Tell the world that he lives again

C'mon, c'mon we'll tell the world about You
Tell the world that
Tell the world that
C'mon, c'mon we'll tell the world about You
Tell the world that




Tell the world that
About You

Overall Meaning

In "Tell the World," Hillsong United calls upon its listeners to spread the message that Jesus lives and died for the world. The singer acknowledges that it is not enough to simply shout praises and then forget about God's name; true faith requires action, and so the singer promises to stand up for God and spread the message of his love. The lyrics suggest that nothing in the world can compare to God, and that the deepest desire of the singer's heart is to know him. By proclaiming Jesus's resurrection and his death for humanity, the singer invites others to join in this faith journey and find freedom in the truth.


The second verse of the song emphasizes the transformative power of faith. The singer declares that they are no longer living for themselves, but for Christ, and that it is through Christ's mercy and grace that the world can be a better place. The song concludes with a repetition of the call to "tell the world" about Jesus, suggesting that sharing this message is not just the responsibility of the faithful, but a joyous opportunity to spread hope and love.

El mundo puede ser mejor
Por su gracia y su amor

Lo ΓΊnico deseo eres tΓΊ
Todo lo que anhelo eres tΓΊ


//Dile al mundo de JesΓΊs
Dile al mundo cristo vive
Dile al mundo de su amor
El muriΓ³ y resucitΓ³//

Vamos a proclamar tu nombre de jesus

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
