Lyrics
Ooo
Yeah yeah yeah
In the beginning
You sent the Earth spinning
You fashioned us from the dust
And since our existence
There's only been one mission
For You to commune with us
And then came the garden
We became the fallen
Sin made us lose our way
Oh but the love that's too good to give up
Set a course for amazing grace
This is the Gospel
This is the good news
Tell everybody
How He saved you
This is the Gospel
Come here the good news
Tell everybody
There's a God that loves you
Oh how He loves you
There's a God that loves you
Oh how He loves you
There's a God that loves you
Then came the Savior
Was born in a manger
Raised up to ransom us
Healing the blind
Raising dead back to life
All the signs of His perfect love
And there on the cross
How He paid every cost
He defeated death, hell and grave
And on that third morning
The stone started rolling
Oh what a beautiful day
This is the Gospel
This is the good news
Tell everybody
How He saved you
This is the Gospel
Come here the good news
Tell everybody
There's a God that loves you
Oh how He loves you
There's a God that loves you
Oh how He loves you
There's a God that loves you
Hallelujah here and now
You have turned my life around
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I was lost but now I'm found
Sing it out
Hallelujah here and now
You have turned my life around
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I was lost but now I'm found
This is the Gospel
This is the good news
Tell everybody
How He saved you
This is the Gospel
Come here the good news
Tell everybody
There's a God that loves you
This is the Gospel
This is the good news
Tell everybody
How He saved you
This is the Gospel
Come here the good news
Tell everybody
There's a God that loves you
Hallelujah here and now
You have turned my life around
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I was lost but now I'm found
Hallelujah here and now
You have turned my life around
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I was lost but now I'm found
Hallelujah here and now
You have turned my life around
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I was lost but now I'm found
Hallelujah here and now
You have turned my life around
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I was lost but now I'm found

Meaning & Inspiration
"This Is the Gospel" traces a full biblical narrative from creation through fall to redemption, describing humanity fashioned from dust for communion with God before naming sin as the cause of lost direction. That structure gives the song's later celebration of grace a specific narrative foundation rather than treating salvation as an isolated event.
Its chorus states its purpose directly, naming itself "the good news" and instructing listeners to tell others how they were saved, framing the song as intentionally evangelistic rather than only reflective. A second verse narrates Christ's birth, healing ministry, and crucifixion before describing the resurrection as the specific reversal of death, hell, and the grave.
The bridge quotes a well-known hymn's opening line directly, "amazing grace, how sweet the sound," tying the song's retelling of the gospel to a much older tradition of testimony about being lost and found. Rooted in contemporary worship's narrative style, the song functions as a condensed gospel presentation set to music, moving through the full biblical story toward a personal declaration of having been found.
