We who were called to be Your people
Struggling sinners and thieves
We’re lifted up from the ashes
And out came the song of the redeemed
The song of the redeemed
The song of the redeemed

Can you hear the sound of melodies
Oh, the sound of melodies
Rising up to You
Rising up to You, God
The sound of melodies
Oh, the sound of melodies
Rising up to You
Rising up to You, God

We have caught a revelation
That nothing can separate us from
The love we received through salvation
It fills your daughters and your sons
Your daughters and your sons

The sound of Your love
The sound of Your love
Is what You’re hearing
The sound of Your sons
The sound of Your sons
You’ve won Your children
The sound of Your love
The sound of Your love
Is what You’re hearing
Your daughters in love
Your daughters in love
You’ve won your children

The sound of melodies
Oh, the sound of melodies
Rising up to You
Rising up to You, God

Behind the Song:
The first of back-to-back workhorse songs, drummer Mike Smith says, “Every time I hear this song it’s like the first time I’ve heard it—I’m just as excited.” The title track combines rich, heartfelt lyrics with searing passion imbued in Leeland Mooring’s vocals. “The reason I think this song is so powerful,” Leeland says, “is because it’s stating a claim. It’s making a declaration that this is our sound to God. It’s the sound of your people who have been redeemed and saved by grace singing to you, God, or worshiping you, whatever you might want to say. And I think that means more to God than even the constant singing by the angels in heaven.”
