Verse 1
Lord, I want to feel with Your heart
See the world through Your eyes
I want to be Your hands and feet
I want to live a life that leads
Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest
night

Pre-Chorus
Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
May the powers of darkness tremble as our
praises rise

Chorus
Until the whole world hears, Lord, we are calling out.
Lifting up Your name for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness we're crying out
And as the day draws near, we'll sing until the whole world hears

Verse 2
Lord, let Your sleeping giant rise
Catch the demons by surprise
Holy nations sanctify
Let this be our battle cry
Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest
night

Pre-Chorus
Ready yourselves, ready yourselves
May the powers of darkness tremble as our
praises rise

Pre-Bridge
Woah, woah, sing until the whole world
hears
Woah, woah, sing until the whole world
hears

Bridge
I want to be Your hands and feet
I want to live a life that leads
To see You set the captive free
Until the whole world hears
And I pray the day will see
More of You and less of me
Lord, I want my life to be
The song You sing

Ending
Woah, woah, we'll sing until the whole world
hears
Woah, woah, we'll sing until the whole world
hears

Behind the Song:
'The title track comes from my mentor in student ministry, Roger Glidewell. He always closed his emails with the phrase 'until the whole world hears.' Our goal is to live our lives telling others about Jesus ' until the whole world hears. John the Baptist was the voice crying out in the wilderness, eating grasshoppers, and speaking into the world about their sin. Speaking out in the wilderness is never popular, but in the body of Christ, we've got to do it in love.' ['Until the Whole World Hears' also includes the voices of the congregation from Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church, where Hall has served as Student Pastor for eight years.] - Mark Hall, Casting Crowns [Jesusfreakhideout]
