The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon you
Because He had anointed you
To preach good news.
The Spirit of the Sovereign God is upon you
Because He has anointed you
To preach good news.
He has sent you to the poor.
(This is the year)
To bind up the brokenhearted
(This is the day)
To bring freedom to the captives
(This is the year)
And to release the ones in darkness.
This is the year
Of the favor of the Lord
This is the day
Of the vengeance of our God
This is the year
It's the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day
Of the vengeance of our God
The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us
Because He has anointed us
To preach good news
The Spirit of the Sovereign God is upon us
Because He has anointed us
To preach good news.
He will comfort all who mourn
(This is the year)
He will provide for those who grieve in Zion
(This is the day)
He's pouring out His oil of gladness
(This is the year)
Instead of mourning we will praise.
This is the year
Of the favor of our Lord
This is the day
Of the coming of the Lord
This is the year
Of the vengeance of our God
He will comfort all who mourn
(This is the year)
He will comfort the ones who've grieved
In Zion
(This is the day)
He's pouring out the oil of gladness
(This is the year)
Instead of mourning
He will comfort all who mourn
(This is the year)
He will provide for those who grieve in Zion
(This is the day)
He's pouring out His oil of gladness
(This is the year)
Instead of mourning we will praise.
We will praise, praise our God
This is the day
Hallelujah!
