It Made News in Heaven
Words and Music by Gordon Jensen

Luke 15:7
"I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing
in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-­nine
righteous persons who do not need to repent."

          Well it didn't make the papers
          In this world when I prayed through.
          It didn't seem to matter
          To all but just a few;
          But on the golden streets of glory
          Celebration banners waved,
          It made news in Heaven
          When I got saved!

            Chorus
            Angels were rejoicing,
            Hallelujahs rang,
            When Jesus touched my life,
            And I was changed.
            Everyone in glory's realm
            Knew my name was written down
            It made news in Heaven
            When I got saved!

          Not long ago a beggar,
          Now a child of the king.
          This old world just shrugged its shoulders
          It didn't mean a thing,
          But it was God's approval
          My spirit really craved.
          Yes it made news in Heaven
          When I got saved!

            Chorus
            Angels were rejoicing,
            Hallelujahs rang,
            When Jesus touched my life,
            And I was changed.
            Everyone in glory's realm
            Knew my name was written down
            It made news in Heaven
            When I got saved!
