Put on the garments of praise, for the spirit of heaviness; Let the oil of gladness flow down from your throne! Put on the garments of praise, for the spirit of heaviness; Your joy is my strength alone, my strength alone!
Make these broken weary bones rise to dance again, Wet this dry and thirsty land with a river! Lord our eyes are fixed on you and we are waiting, For your garland of grace as we praise your name!
(chorus)
Hallelujah, sing hallelujah! We give all honor and praise to your name! Hallelujah, sing hallelujah! We trade our sorrows for garments of praise!
Men of faith rise up and sing Of the great and glorious King You are strong when you feel weak In your brokenness complete
Shout to the north and the south Sing to the east and the west Jesus is Savior to all Lord of Heaven and earth
Rise up women of the truth Stand and sing to broken hearts Who can know the healing power Of our awesome King of love
We've been through fire We've been through rain We've been refined by the Power of His name We've fallen deeper in love with You You've burned the truth on our lips Rise up Church with broken wings Fill this place with songs again Of our God who reigns on high By His grace again we'll fly
Lord of Heaven and earth Lord of Heaven and earth Lord of Heaven and earth
Take us to the river Take us there in unity To sing a song of Your salvation To win this generation for our King A song of Your forgiveness For it is with grace That river flows Take us to the river In the city of our God
Take us to the throne room And give us ears To hear the cry of Heaven For that cry is mercy Mercy to the fallen sons of men Mercy it has triumphed Triumphed over judgement By Your blood Take us to the throne room In the city of our God
The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us This is the year of the Lord The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us This is the year of the Lord
Take us to the mountain Lift us in the shadow of Your hand Is this Your mighty angel Who stands astride the ocean and the land In His hand Your mercy showers O'er a dry and barren place Take us to the mountain In the city of our God
For the Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us This is the year of the Lord For the Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon us This is the year of the Lord
These are the days of Elijah, Declaring the word of the Lord: And these are the days of Your servant Moses, Righteousness being restored. And though these are days of great trial, Of famine and darkness and sword, Still, we are the voice in the desert crying 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord!'
Behold He comes riding on the clouds, Shining like the sun at the trumpet call; Lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee, And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.
These are the days of Ezekiel, The dry bones becoming as flesh; And these are the days of Your servant David, Rebuilding a temple of praise. These are the days of the harvest, The fields are as white in Your world, And we are the labourers in Your vineyard, Declaring the word of the Lord!
There's no God like Jehovah. There's no God like Jehovah!
