02. Joyful

Our God Is Near
by Brenton Brown



 

Joyful joyful we adore You, God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before You, opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of eternal gladness fill us with the light of day (‘cause)

You are the One who saves, You are the One who saves
You are the One who's hands lift us from the grave
You are the light of life, the everlasting day
You are the One who takes all our sins away

You are giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed
Fountain of the joy of living, ocean depths of happy rest

Jesus You are our rescue, Jesus You are our rescue
I give You everything I am
