Joyfully I stand
Lifting holy hands
To the God of my salvation
A joyful song I raise
Singing highest praise
O Jesus, You have made me glad
I rejoice
You have made me glad
I rejoice
In Your goodness, O Lord
I rejoice
You have made me glad
Hallelujah
You have made me glad
Lord I lift my voice
Make a joyful noise
To the God of my salvation
For the mercy You have shown
I dance before Your throne
O Jesus, You have made me glad
(Repeat chorus)
My life You have crowned
With loving-kindness
Your goodness, O Lord
Fills my heart with song
Fills my heart with song
With song
(Repeat chorus)
Hallelujah
You have made me glad
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
You have made me glad
