Oh the Lord has done great things for us
Oh the Lord has done great things for us
We are filled with joy
We are filled with joy
You have done great things
You have done great things
Yeah You have done great things
Father You have done great things
When the Lord brought back
The captive ones of Zion
We were like those who dreamed
Our mouths were filled with laughter
Our tonnegue with joyful shouting
They say among the nations
The Lord has done great things
For them
You’ve restored our hearts
Like streams they flow
Those who sowed in tears
Have reaped their joy
And return with shouts and songs
Carrying the fruit of God
