Du må synge det!
Du må rope det!
Hvis du virkelig har grepet livet
Må du la verden få vite det!
Hvis Gud har forvandlet deg
Og ditt hjerte er blitt hans,
Ikke hold det for deg selv:
Fortell det uten stans!
Du må demonstrere,
Du må forme det som et rop,
Du må la budskapet nå den gemene hop.
La oss bruke tusen trompeter og tusen trommer
Og la oss være dårer for Jesus til Jesus kommer!
Lei den største hallen,
Samle den største skare,
Vift det største flagget,
Blås en trompet-fanfare,
Bruk glad og livlig musikk,
La de modige rope: «Kom hjem!»
Til de verste ser og forstår:
At Gud virkelig bryr seg om dem!
Det er ikke nok å si det,
Du må skrive det,
Du må rope det ut som et brøl!
For hva er vitsen med godhet,
Hvis du gjemmer den i deg sjøl?
La oss si det på gater og pøbber
Med hjerter som brenner og bever
For budskapet om en Frelser
Og at den Frelseren LEVER!

Demonstrate!
It's not enough to say it,

You must sing it!
You must shout it!
If you've really got religion
You must tell the world about it!
If God has gotten to you,
And your heart's as white as snow,
Don't keep the secret to yourself,
Let everybody know!
You've got to demonstrate,
You've got to shout aloud,
You've got to get the message to the crowd;
Let's have a thousand trumpets and a thousand drums,

And let's be fools for Jesus until Jesus comes.
Take the biggest hoarding,
Hire the biggest hall,
Wave the biggest banner,
Sound the trumpet call!
Use the brightest music,
Call the bravest men,
Make the worst take notice
That God cares for them!
It's not enough to say it,
You must write it,
You must roar it!
For what's the use of goodness
If you bottle it and store it?
Let's get out on the street,
Invade the tavern and the dive,
Tell men there's a Saviour,
Take the biggest hoarding,
Hire the biggest hall,
Wave the biggest banner,
Sound the trumpet call!
Use the brightest music,
Call the bravest men,
Make the worst take notice
That God cares for them!
It's not enough to say it,
You must write it,
You must roar it!
For what's the use of goodness
If you bottle it and store it?
Let's get out on the street,
Invade the tavern and the dive,
Tell men there's a Saviour,
And that Saviour is ALIVE!
