I am so excited to announce the 5th single, “The Lion Still Roars”, from my upcoming Great Awakening worship album, is now available on all music platforms!
I love the power and authority this song carries. Hell thought Jesus was defeated on the cross, but much to the Enemy’s surprise, Jesus conquered even the power of death and rose to life. The opening line of this song says, “From the tomb a thunder rolls, a holy roar all creatures know, the Lion is alive!”
I was fascinated to learn recently how loud a lion’s roar actually is. For reference, a typical arena rock concert runs about 110 dB, which is 110 decibels. That is extremely loud. But believe it or not, that is nothing compared to the lion’s roar. When a lion roars at full volume, using all his power and strength, it passes around 115 dB. So just think about that … the roar of the lion is louder than the loudest rock concert.
My co-writer Sean Hill got the inspiration for this song when he saw a documentary of a lion protecting his lioness, and when the lion roared, the nearby houses literally SHOOK. To me, that is a beautiful metaphor of the jealous and protective love our Father has for us. He will not let anyone or anything – not even the powers of Hell – snatch us from His hands when we belong to Him. That is the fierceness and zeal with which He fights for us!
It seems like all Hell is breaking loose on Planet Earth right now, but this is the time we must stand firm and be filled with hope – the Lion of Judah is ALIVE and He is on the prowl and He is still roaring and fighting for His children!
This song is so much fun! It’s my 2 year old son’s personal favorite song on the entire album. I hope you enjoy it as much as he does!

Song Lyrics:
THE LION STILL ROARS
Words & Music by Shelly E. Johnson, Sean Hill, Alvymarie Rodriguez & Ashley Fruhling
Verse 1
From the tomb a thunder rolls
A holy roar all creatures know
The Lion is alive
See our King is prowling here
Hunting down our every fear
He’s never lost a fight
No, He’s never lost a fight
Chorus
The Lion still roars
The Lion still roars
Hell is defeated, the battle is Yours
The Lion still roars
The Lion still roars
Heaven has conquered, the victory is Yours
The Lion still roars
The Lion still roars
Verse 2
WIth jealous rage and eyes like fire
And angel armies at His side
He wages righteous war
Tearing darkness limb from limb
He ferociously defends
His throne all powerful
Oh, His throne all powerful
Chorus
Bridge
When the Lion of Judah roars
Hear the sound that shakes the earth
With the glory of the Lord
What can stop our God ?
Chorus
