About Shout to the Lord

"Shout to the Lord" is a praise and worship song written by Christian worship leader Darlene Zschech in 1993. It was published by Hillsong Music Australia. It has also been covered by Don Moen, Carman, Natalie Grant, Skillet, Matt Redman, Jim Brickman, Randy Travis, Lincoln Brewster, John Tesh and Sandi Patty. On 9 April 2008, "Shout to the Lord" was the closing song on Idol Gives Back, sung by the remaining eight contestants of American Idol and a gospel choir. The lyrics of the song were altered, changing the word "Jesus" to "Shepherd" in the first line, without the approval of Zschech or Hillsong Church. At the request of the song's publishers, the song was performed again at the opening of the next show the following night, this time using the original lyrics. The studio version of the performance charted at number 43 in the Billboard Hot 100, based on digital download sales alone.
