Somebody Ought to Say (Remix)

Lyrics

# SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SAY SOMETHING

[Intro]

[Driving piano, Hammond B3, tight drums, bass pushing hard]

[Lead]
Hold up.

After everything He brought you through—

you mean to tell me
you ain’t got nothing to say?

[Choir]
Say something!

[Lead]
He kept you all week—

[Choir]
Say something!

[Lead]
Made a way again—

[Choir]
Say something!

[Verse 1]

[Lead]
You got up this morning
with breath still in your body

Made it through some situations
you never told nobody

Had days you were frustrated
had nights you felt alone

Still somehow the Lord kept you
and brought you safely home

[Choir]
Say something!

[Lead]
You don’t have to preach

[Choir]
Say something!

[Lead]
You don’t need a microphone

[Choir]
Say something!

[Lead]
But after all that mercy
don’t sit there like He did nothing

[Choir]
Say something!

[Chorus]

[Lead]
Somebody ought to say something!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
Somebody ought to tell Him!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
For keeping my family!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
For keeping my mind!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
For making another way!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
If He’s been good to you—

[Choir]
SAY SOMETHING!

[Verse 2]

[Lead]
Luke 17 tells about ten men
who cried out to Jesus

All ten got cleansed
but only one came back

[Choir]
One came back!

[Lead]
Jesus asked,
“Were there not ten cleansed?
but where are the nine?”

[Choir]
Where are the nine?

[Lead]
I don’t want to be
the one who gets the blessing
and forgets who blessed me

[Choir]
No, Lord!

[Lead]
I don’t want the answer
and then get too busy
to say thank You

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
If I had enough voice
to complain about the problem

I’ve got enough voice
to praise Him for the answer!

[Choir]
Say something!

[Minister Break]

[Band drops to organ]

[Lead]
Somebody has gotten too familiar
with the goodness of God.

You call it normal.

But normal didn’t keep you.

Mercy did.

You call it coincidence.

But coincidence didn’t wake you up.

You call it timing.

But timing didn’t forgive you.

Psalm 107 says,
“Oh that men would praise the Lord
for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works
to the children of men!”

So don’t wait
until something spectacular happens.

Thank Him for what
you’ve started taking for granted.

[Choir]
Thank Him!

[Lead]
Food in the house—

[Choir]
Thank Him!

[Lead]
Strength to get up—

[Choir]
Thank Him!

[Lead]
A mind that still knows His name—

[Choir]
Thank Him!

[Lead]
Another chance to get it right—

[Choir]
Thank Him!

[Chorus]

[Lead]
Somebody ought to say something!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
Somebody ought to tell Him!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
For every door You opened!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
For every door You closed!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
For things I never even saw!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Drive]

[Lead]
Did He keep you?

[Choir]
YES!

[Lead]
Then say something!

[Choir]
THANK YOU!

[Lead]
Did He bring you through?

[Choir]
YES!

[Lead]
Then say something!

[Choir]
THANK YOU!

[Lead]
Did He forgive you?

[Choir]
YES!

[Lead]
Then say something!

[Choir]
THANK YOU!

[Lead]
Did He give you another chance?

[Choir]
YES!

[Lead]
Then open your mouth!

[Choir]
THANK YOU, JESUS!

[Lead]
For Monday!

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
For Tuesday!

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
For the day I almost lost it!

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
For the prayer You answered!

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
For the one You said no to!

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
For what I understand!

[Choir]
Thank You!

[Lead]
And what I still don’t understand!

[Choir]
THANK YOU!

[Final Vamp]

[Lead]
I’ve got something to say!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
I’ve got something to say!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
You’ve been better than good!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
You’ve been better than kind!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
You stayed with me!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Lead]
You carried me!

[Choir]
Thank You, Lord!

[Outro]

[Lead]
Don’t let gratitude
get quiet in your life.

If He did something—

say something.

If He kept you—

say something.

If He gave you one more day—

say something.

[Choir]
THANK YOU, LORD!

[Lead]
That’s all I needed to hear.

[Choir]
THANK YOU, LORD!
