Tauren Wells - Let The Church Sing Lyrics
Lyrics
We love one truth
We crown one name
We bow to one king
We follow one way
One faith, one gospel
One cross, one grave
One resurrection
We share by grace
So, we say
No one like our God
Only one we need
Holy is our Lord
Hallelujah let the church sing
No one like our God
Only one we need
Holy is our Lord
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle Hallelujah
From cathedrals
To forgotten towns
Behind stained glass
And underground
On fire we're charging
Pentecost til now
Lighting up the darkness
And we won't burn out
Everybody say
No one like our God
Only one we need
Holy is our Lord
Hallelujah let the church sing
No one like our God
Only one we need
Holy is our Lord
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle Hallelujah
Let the redeemed
Let the redeemed
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed
Let the redeemed
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
If you been washed by blood
Filled with the spirit
Ain't no sound like the forgiven
Let the redeemed
Let the redeemed
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
No one like our God
Only one we need
Holy is our Lord
Hallelujah let the church sing
No one like our God
Only one we need
Holy is our Lord
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle
(No one like our God)
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle Hallelujah
Hallelujah let the church sing
Halle Halle Halle Hallelujah...

Tauren Wells - Let The Church Sing (Official Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Tauren Wells' "Let The Church Sing" emerges as a powerful declaration, serving as both an anthem and an urgent call to the global body of Christ. From its release, the song resonated deeply, not just as another worship tune, but as a congregational rallying cry, reinforcing core tenets of Christian faith and identity. It champions unity within diversity, reminding believers of the foundational truths that bind them together, transcending denominational lines and geographical boundaries. Wells crafts a narrative that is both personal in its conviction and universal in its invitation, aiming to ignite a collective voice of praise and testimony across the earth.
The song's profound message begins by laying a clear theological foundation, establishing the singular focus of Christian devotion. The opening lines "We love one truth, We crown one name, We bow to one king, We follow one way" immediately echo the profound unity described in Scripture. This reflects passages like Ephesians 4:4-6, which speaks of "one body and one Spirit...one hope...one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all." The truth is singular, as Jesus proclaimed Himself the Way, the Truth, and the Life in John 14:6. This unwavering commitment to a solitary King, Jesus Christ, sets the stage for the collective affirmation that follows. The subsequent lines, "One faith, one gospel, One cross, one grave, One resurrection, We share by grace," further solidify this theological framework. They point to the core of the Christian narrative: salvation through faith in the gospel, made possible by Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, His burial, and triumphant resurrection. This shared inheritance of grace, as Romans 6:4-5 articulates, means we are united with Him in newness of life, a life received not through works, but solely by divine favor.
This foundational unity then culminates in the song's resounding chorus: "No one like our God, Only one we need, Holy is our Lord, Hallelujah let the church sing." This is a bold proclamation of God's unmatched sovereignty and absolute holiness. Isaiah 45:5 declares, "I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no God." The assertion that God is the "only one we need" speaks to His sufficiency and our complete dependence on Him, finding satisfaction and provision solely in His presence. The declaration of "Holy is our Lord" aligns with the ceaseless worship in heaven described in Revelation 4:8, where beings continually cry out, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty." The powerful command, "Hallelujah let the church sing," is more than an invitation; it is an exhortation, activating the collective voice of believers to declare these truths. "Hallelujah," meaning "Praise the Lord," becomes the natural, overflowing response to such an incomparable God.
The song then broadens its scope, illustrating the Church's expansive reach and enduring nature: "From cathedrals To forgotten towns, Behind stained glass And underground, On fire we're charging Pentecost til now, Lighting up the darkness And we won't burn out." This powerful imagery captures the Church's presence across all strata of society and geography. Whether in grand, visible structures or clandestine, persecuted gatherings, the Church persists. It reminds us that the body of Christ is not confined by architecture or human design, but exists wherever believers gather. The reference to "Pentecost til now" highlights the unbroken continuity of the Holy Spirit's empowering work, stretching from the birth of the Church in Acts 2 to the present day. Just as the early Church was "on fire" with the Spirit, so too is the contemporary Church called to be. This fiery passion is not merely internal; it manifests as "lighting up the darkness," echoing Jesus' command in Matthew 5:14-16 to be the "light of the world," letting our light shine before others. The assurance "we won't burn out" is a testament to the divine sustenance and resilience promised to the Church, reminding us that even the "gates of hell shall not prevail against it," as stated in Matthew 16:18.
The bridge further amplifies the call to praise, specifically targeting "the redeemed." The repeated plea, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so," draws directly from Psalm 107:2, a powerful invitation for those delivered by God to testify to His goodness. This is then clarified with the profound statement: "If you been washed by blood, Filled with the spirit, Ain't no sound like the forgiven." This powerfully encapsulates the transformative experience of salvation. To be "washed by blood" signifies atonement and forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice, as Ephesians 1:7 proclaims, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses." To be "filled with the spirit" speaks to the indwelling and empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, enabling believers to live a life of worship and witness, as described throughout the book of Acts. The unique "sound of the forgiven" is not merely a song, but an audible expression of profound gratitude, liberation, and joy that only those who have experienced God's mercy can truly articulate. It's the sound of praise, worship, and testimony that erupts from a heart set free from sin and shame, a sound unlike any other because it is rooted in divine grace.
"Let The Church Sing" ultimately serves as an urgent and inspiring charge to believers everywhere. It is a unifying anthem that calls the diverse, worldwide body of Christ back to its foundational truths: one God, one faith, one King, one redemption by grace. It reminds us that our collective voice, when raised in praise and declaration of these truths, is a powerful force that testifies to God's uniqueness, holiness, and unwavering presence. It encourages the faithful to stand firm, to shine brightly, and to never cease proclaiming the goodness of the One who has redeemed them, thereby fulfilling their divine purpose as the living, breathing, singing Church of God.
