ONLY THE GOOD NEWS Music Video

Thank you for agreeing to participate in the video for this song. Under Pastor Dave Marshall’s initiative, we hope this video will be a blessing not only to our church, but to many others as well. Our aim is to have the video ready for the Easter season to help people remember and celebrate the good news of Jesus Christ. We simply ask that participants come ready to worship freely—smiling, raising hands, and singing as you feel led.


Below you will find details for the video shoot. Please read through them carefully.


DATE, TIME, & LOCATION

Filming will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary at FBC. We hope to keep the total time under an hour. We anticipate filming at least four takes from four different camera angles. Please plan to arrive a little early so you can get into place before we begin.



ATTIRE

For a consistent and aesthetically pleasing look, we ask that you avoid overly bright colors, busy patterns, shorts, or graphic shirts.



AUDIO & LYRICS

Below you will find the unreleased mix of the song. Please take some time to listen and become as familiar with it as possible before filming. The lyrics will be displayed during the shoot, but the more you can internalize them beforehand, the more natural the moment will feel.

Please do not download or share this audio. Instead, we encourage you to share the song once it becomes available on streaming services beginning Friday, March 13.

The lyrics are posted below.

LYRICS

Verse 1

How amazing is the gospel story

That Jesus the King of Glory

Would trade his throne for a criminal’s tree

How sweet it is to be forgiven

To be filled with the Holy Spirit

Oh what a marvelous mystery


Pre-Chorus 1

It’s the reason you see hope in my eyes

For I was dead now I’m alive


Chorus 1

How good is the news of Jesus Christ

Oh how precious the blood that redeems my life

What else could explain all this hope inside

It's Only the good news of Jesus Christ


Verse 2

How amazing is the gospel story

The very first Easter morning

Creation awoke to an empty grave

How sweet to share in Jesus’ victory

For sin cannot reign within me

I am alive with the risen King


Pre-Chorus 2

It’s the reason you see hope in my eyes

For He’s not dead He’s alive


Bridge 1

In every moment

In every season

What keeps me singing

Only the good news


When shame comes calling

When fear is falling

I rest my heart in

Only the good news


When earth is shaking

The nations raging

My hope remains in

Only the good news


And as I’m waiting

Upon that day

I will keep proclaiming

Only the good news


Pre-Chorus 3

You are the reason for the hope in my eyes

‘Cause I have eternal life


Tag

This will be my refrain all the days of my life

Only the good news of Jesus Christ

This will sustain until my faith is sight

Only the good news of Jesus Christ
