Behind The Song: Rhett Walker Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Gospel Song”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from Rhett Walker. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Gospel Song.”

“We just kind of wanted to keep it simple and remind ourselves & hopefully remind people that hear it that there is joy to be found, even in the weird years that we just went through. Our joy is not found in anything in the world, but our joy is found in Jesus. And no matter how long you’ve been a believer or walked in your spiritual journey we all need that reminder daily.” – Rhett Walker

“Gospel Song” Lyrics

I could listen to my heart
I could listen to the world
I could listen to my problems
But what I think I need to hear
Nice and loud and crystal clear
Is about the who’s gonna solve them
Oh
I need something that can fill my soul
Oh
On a record or the radio

Ain’t nothing like a gospel song
Makes me want to sing it all day long
Something ‘bout that amazing grace sound of praise
Makes my troubles not seem so strong
Let me hear a heart set free
Holy Bible to a melody
Turn it up and then play it again, play it again, play it
On and on and on
Ain’t nothing like a gospel song

Let me stop and testify
I was dead and brought to life
By the power of my Savior
But if I’m being real with you
Sometimes I forget it’s true
I could use a reminder

Oh
I need something that can fill my soul
Oh
On a record or the radio

I will sing, I will sing the name of Jesus
I will sing, I will sing of all he’s done
I will sing, I will sing the name of Jesus
I will sing, I will sing ‘til kingdom come
