Jessie Harris and Gateway Worship 'Shout to the Lord' Moving Performance

Jessie Harris and Gateway Worship’s “Shout to the Lord” is an incredibly moving performance. It is worship in its purest form. Watch the video to experience it for yourself!

Jessie Harris starts off the worship team, leading with her vocals and piano from a large stage. From the very start of the song, the whole room has its hands lifted in praise.

Jessie’s voice is so strong and steady—it is a great match for this song. It’s so wonderful to hear a moving worship song from the '90s. It is slower than most modern songs and sounds so meaningful as Jessie sings each lyric. Some of the words in the song are: 

My Jesus my Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

Numerous times in the Bible, it speaks about shouting and praising God in this manner. This song, those who sing it, and shouting His name bring much glory to God. 

“Shout to the Lord” was introduced in 1993 by Australian singer and songwriter Darlene Zschech and made popular by Hillsong Worship a year later. Darlene wrote it at the age of 28, during a time in her life when she felt burdened and depressed, while sitting at her childhood piano. 

As she sang, she felt joy returning to her. At the time, she was nervous to share her song with others, but now it’s been heard all over the globe and has been translated into over 20 languages. Out of Darlene’s darkness came something amazing, full of love and light. The song’s history is a wonderful testimony of how beauty can come from ashes!

“Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous: and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.” Psalms 32:11
