Come and Praise the Lord with joy brand new And hear the old, old story How he cherished the ones who rejected him Reversing the fall, lifting us all Up to glory again The Lord has made us to worship him Our origin and our resting place. But we placed our hearts on the gifts he gave Worshipping frauds, fashioning gods Of the good things he made But he saw the need of his enemies Of all people; you and me And came uninvited to his own earth Humbly born, greeted with scorn Seeking the human's curse! Now Christ has known an imposter's shame A stranger in the world he made In the place of idolaters, God was blamed But the world it was won, foes became sons Of the most high again! Come and praise the Lord with joy brand new And raise a fresh hallelujah For the old, old story belongs to you You who were lost, strangers to God Welcomed as heirs again
