Joy to the World - Chris Tomlin (Unspeakable Joy)
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Psalm 98:1-6
Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
Lyrics:
Joy to the world! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King Let every heart Prepare Him room And Saints and angels sing And Saints and angels sing And Saints and Saints and angels sing
Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns Let Saints their songs employ While fields and floods Rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy
Joy to the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders and wonders of His love
Dear Lord,
You are most certainly the Joy that our world is longing for! "Let every heart prepare him room!" Come in, Emmanuel! In you, we have life-abundant no matter the circumstances around us. Open our eyes to the wonders of your love so that we may sing praises to you our King. Yes, Lord Jesus, become the unspeakable joy that pours out of our hearts so that others may be affected by your pursuing love. May they join the chorus in praises to our Savior. Amen.
