"Best News You Ever Heard"

(Intro) Spoken:
Are y'all ready for some good news?
How about the best news you ever heard?

Verse 1
How can someone so dirty ever hope to be washed clean?
How can someone so wretched ever hope to be redeemed?
How can someone so blind ever hope to see?
How can someone so bound ever be set free?
If you're asking these questions
Friend it's time you knew
Oh, have I got some good news for you

Chorus
Jesus died upon the cross
Washed away our sins
He rose on the third day
And He's coming back again
Shout it from the rooftops
Help spread the good Word
Let me tell you people
It's the best news you ever heard
Best news you ever heard

Verse 2
How can the weary ever hope to find some rest, oh how?
How can the cursed ever hope to be someday blessed?
How can the lost in dark ever find the light?
How can these scarlet sins be washed snowy white?
If you're asking these questions
Friend it's time you knew
Oh, have I got some good news for you

Chorus
Jesus died upon the cross
Washed away our sins
He rose on the third day
And He's coming back again
Shout it from the rooftops
Help spread the good Word
Let me tell you people
It's the best news you ever heard
Best news you ever heard
Best news I ever heard!

Good news gospel shared in a forceful exuberant voice. Gave it a couple listens because I was just getting into singing along and it was over. I like the vocal treatment with (it sounds like) a couple singers in the congregation singing along. A real mover, Bawb.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Bawb,

An appropriate backing and an impassioned vocal.

Mix sounds good.

Hi Bawb,

This good news was shouted from the roofs, that's for sure!
It's different from how you usually hear religious songs sound. You have good vocals for singing the message this way.
A nice intro, a sudden end, but done with a good vocal, good mix and nice band!

Well written tune. Sounds like you are really up front of a congregation belting the good news out. You even have audience noise. Good production. Good vocals. Good song. Good news.
