Sin sometimes strikes so silently
You don’t even know what hit you.
Where did that awful thought come from?
Is not the Holy Spirit with you?
Yes, you entertained the notion.
O, how could you let it linger?!
Condemnation’s called your name…
Shame points an ugly finger.
But don’t look in that direction…
Your dirty laundry’s on display.
Time for the water of the Word
To simply shout your sin away.
There's a certain product people use
To remove an ugly stain.
And in the spiritual it works
Just to shout out Jesus’ Name.
No, the shouting, in itself, will not
Remove a single sordid sin.
O, but the Blood of Jesus will
Time and time and time again.
And when that stain is far removed
God remembers it no more
So it seems that just this thought alone
Is worth shouting His praise for
This isn’t three strikes and you’re out
As practiced at the old ball game.
You’ll probably strike out many times
But keep shouting out His Name.
He will never leave you nor forsake you…
There should never be a doubt!
Of course, He won’t put up with sin
So you have to shout it out.

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth
in song, rejoice, and sing praises
