Tell the World
Hillsong Kids 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 compares to you

Cause all I want in this lifetime is you
And all I want in this whole world is you, you, 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
About you
