JOY, JOY, UNSPEAKABLE JOY
Hope like never before
You came for us
You are our freedom
Love, love, unshakeable love
We shall overcome, we will never give up
We lift a shout, we lift a shout
Everyone singing
Come on, come on now, we’ve got a new song
Come on, come on now, a song of liberty
Let the world hear heaven’s melody
This is the shout of the hearts You’ve set free
True, true, we know it’s true
We stand now, risen with You
You lifted us, You are our freedom
Strong, strong, whatever may come
You have already won
We lift a shout, we lift a shout
Everyone singing
And we’ll dance, dance
Dance in Your freedom
Oh, Your glorious freedom
Forevermore, forevermore
Matt Redman, Ben Fielding, Jason Ingramme & Chris Tomlin
