Story behind the song
Isaiah 61
Our Salvation comes from the LORD
Lyrics
Verse 1
God cares for the broken hearted,
And prisoners He sets free
For Jesus said “It is finished”
Announcing our liberty
Chorus
Greatly rejoice
Raise up your voice
As children of God we are blessed.
Our salvation comes from the Lord
He clothes us in righteousness
Verse 2
He gives us beauty for ashes,
And oil of joy when we mourn
He traded our heaviness;
For robes of praise to be worn
Chorus
Instrumental (key change)
Verse 3
As the soil springs forth her buds
And seeds escape from birth
God causes right eousness and praise
To rise up throughout the Earth
Chorus
Tag:
O Greatly rejoice
Lift up your voice
Our salvation comes from the Lord
