"Shout to the Lord" is a praise and worship song written by Christian worship leader Darlene Zschech in 1993.[1] A popular worship power ballad, it was published by Hillsong Music Australia.[2]
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,[3] without the approval of Zschech or Hillsong Church.[4] 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.[3] The studio version of the performance charted at number 43 in the Billboard Hot 100, based on digital download sales alone.
"Shout to the Lord" by singer-songwriter Darlene Zschech was written during the time she was struggling with financial worries and the stresses of raising a young family.[5]
