Shout To The Lord by American Idol Top 8 Lyrics

Verse
My Shepherd, my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

Chorus
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I`ll love You, forever I`ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
I have in You

verse
My Comfort, my Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath all that I am
Never cease to worship You

American Idol – Shout to the Lord 4-10-2008

This was the closing song on Idol Gives Back on April 9, 2008, sung by the remaining contestants of American Idol and a gospel choir. The lyrics of the song were altered, changing the word Jesus to Shepherd in the opening stanza. The song was performed again at the opening of the next show the following night, this time using the original lyrics.
