Oil of Joy (Based on Isaiah 61)

Great upbeat bible song nased on Isaiah 61.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The news is on my tongue

Good news for the poor

A banner in the dust

By the broken door

To bind up every wound

To open every chain

To call the faint back home

And sing life to the lame

[Pre-Chorus] Tell the captured heart

You are not forgot

Tell the heavy soul

There is more than loss

Chorus] Oil of joy

Oil of joy

 For the ashes on my head (oil of joy)

Oil of joy

Oil of joy Beauty rising in its place (oil of joy)

[Verse 2] Garments for the grief

A clean and shining name

Praise from a dry old tree

Burning back to flame

They'll build again in peace

They'll plant in patient rows

Where sorrow made its bed

New gladness grows

[Pre-Chorus] Tell the captive heart

You are not forgot

Tell the weary bones

There is more than loss

[Chorus] Oil of joy

Oil of joy

 For the ashes on my head (oil of joy)

Oil of joy

Oil of joy

Beauty rising in its place (oil of joy)

[Bridge] And we will lift you up

Like cedars in the rain

And we will turn and dance

 With robes of praise

For every ruin touched

For every tear removed

 For every sainted seed

That blooms anew

[Final Chorus] Oil of joy

Oil of joy

 For the ashes on my head (oil of joy)

Oil of joy

Oil of joy

Beauty rising in its place (oil of joy)

Oil of joy

Oil of joy

 Dance me into gladness now (oil of joy
