Cómo se dice, "Tell your face about it"?

Okay I know this is a weird one....but how would you say..."Tell your face" My pastor was asking the congregation if they were happy and they were all saying "Yes" then someone else shouted out "Well tell your face about it" Everyone was laughing and I was trying to translate it to some friends but it didn't come across correct because they just looked at me confused and didn't laugh.

This is more like a pun hence does not make sense literally in Spanish. Have you ever heard the saying: "Tienes cara de pocos amigos". It means "You have an unfriendly face". You say this when you see a person with a frown on their face. If your friends are hispanic, they will get this saying, it is very popular!, which basically means what your pastor was trying to imply: If your happy like you're saying then show it!
