Well don't you know that Christ come and tell you that the things that you have heard--the Word / Go tell it from the rooftop / The Bible come and tell you that the things that Him proclaim--don't be ashamed / Go tell it up from the roof! / SHOUT CHORUS: Pon the rooftop / 'Pon the rooftop / 'Pon the rooftop / Go tell it 'pon the rooftop / 'Pon the rooftop / 'Pon the rooftop / 'Pon the rooftop / Go take it up 'pon the roof / Well now the words that me talk them a dead fe serious / Just imagine if you had the antivirus of the HIV, cancer or the AIDS / Would you be quiet or would you proclaim? / Even worse is the epidemic that them call sin / Without the sacrifice of Christ we can't be forgiven, ah forgiven / Through Christ I'm living / And so me take it up on roof / CHORUS: Rooftop take it upon the rooftop / To the rooftop take it up 'pon the rooftop / Rooftop take it upon the rooftop / To the top, to the top go on take it to the top (Repeat) / VERSE 3: You see the Bible come and tell you that the things that you have heard: the Word / Go tell it from the rooftop / And Christ come and tell you that the things that Him chat bout-go shout / Proclaim it from the rooftop! / (SHOUT CHORUS) / VERSE 4: Not the top of the charts nor the top of the list / Not the top of the food chain or the top hits / Not the top of the top or the top of the world / Just the top of the roof so the Word can be heard / So I'm not ashamed to proclaim His Name it's the power of God through which I've been saved / And I'm not ashamed to proclaim His Name it's the power of Christ through which I've been saved! / (CHORUS) / Now the Gospel means good news and the best news is Christ, Jesus born of a virgin was a good teacher, lived a perfect life / Crucified for our sins--atoning sacrifice / Resurrected and instructed, then Him ascend 'pon high / 'pon the clouds and Him a come back in the same way / Well nobody knows the hour, neither them know day / But we anxiously await our Lord to return from high / Until that day don't you know that we shall cry... / (CHORUS) / (VERSE 3) / (SHOUT CHORUS) / (VERSE 4) / (CHORUS).
