Come on let's turn it up
We're gonna sing it out
For all the world to hear, oh!
There's life for everyone
A new day has begun
Something to shout about
Let it be known that our God saves
Our God reigns, we lift You up! Up!
Let it be known that love has come
Love has won, we lift You up! Up! Up! Oh!
Nothing can stop us now
No one can keep us down
We've found our voice again, oh-oh, oh!
No need for fear and shame
There's power in His name
Come on let freedom reign
Let it be known that our God saves
Our God reigns, we lift You up! Up!
Let it be known that love has come
Love has won, we lift You up! Up! Up! Oh!

Meaning & Inspiration
Worship Central's "Let It Be Known," arriving on July 3, 2015, stands as a vibrant, undeniable anthem, serving as a rallying cry for believers to boldly declare the profound truths of their faith. From its inception, the song embodies a straightforward yet urgent mission: to empower Christians to vocalize the life-altering message of the Gospel with unreserved enthusiasm and clarity. It isn't merely a collection of verses and choruses; it is a musical manifesto designed to stir a collective awakening, urging individuals and communities alike to step out of quiet contemplation and into active proclamation, making the good news resonate for all to hear. The very essence of the song serves as its own narrative, reflecting a universal yearning within the Church to fulfill the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20, to go and make disciples, sharing the transformative power of Jesus Christ.
The song immediately bursts forth with an infectious energy, inviting everyone to "turn it up" and "sing it out for all the world to hear." This initial call to action is a powerful echo of Psalm 66:1, which commands us to "Shout for joy to God, all the earth," and serves as an encouragement to embrace uninhibited worship. This declaration quickly transitions into the foundational message that "there's life for everyone, a new day has begun, something to shout about." This line beautifully encapsulates the universal hope offered through Christ, reminding us of Romans 6:23, where the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. The "new day" speaks directly to the spiritual renewal promised in 2 Corinthians 5:17, where old things pass away and all things become new in Christ, providing an undeniable reason for joyful proclamation.
At its core, the chorus acts as the song's unwavering anchor: "Let it be known that our God saves, Our God reigns, we lift You up! Let it be known that love has come, Love has won, we lift You up!" Each phrase is a weighty theological declaration. "Our God saves" is a testament to the salvific work of Jesus, echoing Acts 4:12, which states there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Coupled with "Our God reigns," the song powerfully asserts divine sovereignty, a truth celebrated throughout Scripture, from Psalm 93:1 declaring the Lord is robed in majesty and power, to Revelation 19:6 proclaiming that the Lord God Almighty reigns. The assertion that "love has come" speaks directly to the incarnation of Jesus, God becoming flesh as described in John 1:14, the ultimate act of divine love detailed in 1 John 4:9-10. Crucially, "Love has won" celebrates the victory of Christ over sin and death on the cross, a triumph described in Colossians 2:15 where He disarmed the spiritual forces and authorities, triumphing over them by the cross, a victory further cemented in Revelation 12:11 by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. The repeated call to "lift You up" is a direct expression of exaltation and worship, aligning with numerous psalms that call believers to praise and magnify God's name (e.g., Psalm 145:1).
The bridge then shifts focus to the empowerment found in this truth, proclaiming, "Nothing can stop us now, No one can keep us down, We've found our voice again." This speaks to the indomitable spirit of faith, drawing strength from scriptures like Romans 8:31, which asks, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" It celebrates the liberation from spiritual bondage and silence, restoring a voice to those who may have felt marginalized or intimidated. This renewed confidence is further amplified by the powerful statement, "No need for fear and shame, There's power in His name, Come on let freedom reign." This directly confronts the spiritual burdens that weigh people down, offering the liberating truth of 2 Timothy 1:7, that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. The "power in His name" resonates with Philippians 2:9-11, where every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and the call for "freedom to reign" is a jubilant acknowledgment of the liberty found in Christ, as articulated in Galatians 5:1, where believers are called to stand firm in the freedom that Christ has given them.
The inclusion of the rap sections serves as an ingenious modern touch, cutting through any potential formality to deliver the core message with raw, relatable intensity. Phrases like "Our God's boss on the throne" succinctly communicate God's supreme authority and sovereignty in a way that resonates with a contemporary audience, driving home the truth of His kingship that transcends all earthly powers, a theme consistent with Revelation 19:16, where He is called King of kings and Lord of lords. This reiteration ensures that the vital declarations of God saving, reigning, and love winning are not just sung but proclaimed with an almost defiant confidence, making the message undeniably clear and accessible. The song culminates with the bridge, "We lift Your name up higher and higher, We shout Your name out louder and louder," cementing the theme of active, outward worship. This passionate expression aligns with Psalm 66:1-2, which urges all the earth to shout joyfully to God and sing the glory of His name, giving Him glorious praise.
Ultimately, "Let It Be Known" by Worship Central is far more than just a worship song; it's a dynamic call to action for every believer. It’s a compelling reminder that the truths of God's saving power, His eternal reign, and the victorious triumph of His love are not meant to be kept secret but are designed to be declared from the mountaintops. The song's robust message, firmly rooted in Scripture, provides a theological backbone that encourages, equips, and inspires those who engage with it to step into their calling as witnesses, allowing their lives and voices to resonate with the good news that reshapes destinies and redefines the future. It’s an anthem for an awakened generation, ready to make God's magnificent story known to every corner of the earth.
