Lyrics
Trees of life are blooming
And Your word plants the seed and we feel it growing, yeah
Your kindness leading to repentance
And we see traces
Of deliverance
Thank You for mercy
Oh, can You hear it?
It's the song of the redeemed
The pursuit of passion for the One who set us free
Oh, can You hear it?
We're crying out for more
Listen to our song
It's turning into a Holy Roar
A holy roar
Rivers of renewal
Spirit whisper a revival
And send us rushing
Lord, send us rushing
Open hearts with hopes of unity
Servants to love in lost humanity
Lord, send us reaching, yeah
Oh, can You hear it?
It's the song of the redeemed
The pursuit of passion for the One who set us free
Oh, can You hear it?
We're crying out for more
And listen to our song
It's turning into a Holy Roar
A holy roar, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the Holy Roar
Yes, we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the Holy Roar
Yes, we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the Holy Roar
Yes, we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the Holy Roar, yeah
Oh, can you hear it?
Can you hear it?

Meaning & Inspiration
Holy Roar moves from images of spiritual growth into a communal song of redemption and renewal. God’s word is pictured as seed bringing life, while kindness leads toward repentance and mercy leaves visible signs of deliverance. The chorus gathers these themes into the cry of people set free, whose rejoicing grows into a holy roar. Later lines widen the focus toward revival, unity, service, and loving people who are lost.
The connection between divine kindness and repentance directly echoes Romans 2:4. The call for the redeemed to sing recalls Psalm 107:2, where those rescued by the Lord are told to speak of that redemption. Freedom in the chorus may also be read alongside John 8:36, which declares the freedom given by the Son. The repeated cries to the Lord make the song both praise and petition: it celebrates mercy already received while asking the Spirit to renew, unite, and send servants toward others.
