"Shout to the Lord" is a praise and worship song written by Christian worship leader Darlene Zschech in 1993.[1] It was published by Hillsong Music Australia.
It has also been covered by Don Moen, Carman, Matt Redman,[citation needed] Chris Tomlin,[citation needed] Michael W. Smith,[citation needed] Lincoln Brewster,[citation needed] John Tesh[citation needed] and Sandi Patty.[citation needed]
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,[2] without the approval of Zschech or Hillsong Church.[3] 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.[2] The studio version of the performance charted at number 43 in the Billboard Hot 100, based on digital download sales alone.
