Joy To The World

(album: Christmas | LIVE from Phoenix - 2017)

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven and nature sing
And Heav'n, and Heav'n and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules 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, wonders of His love

It's remarkable, isn't it?
As Luke said, that this baby boy, no family of promotion, no city of impressive nature
Just a manger
No social media campaigns, no presidential campaigns, no private aeroplanes
But He rose up with twelve ragamuffins
He termed B.C. into A.D., flipped the world on its head
He's the most famous name around the globe, the most read book ever written
And the most beautiful news the world has ever known is this:
That He reconnected us to Heaven
He offered us redemption, a fresh start, freedom
So that we can hold our heads high and march through this life knowing, my friends, that we are never alone
That's the greatest news the world has ever known
So let's stand stand to our feet tonight and let's sing this like we mean it
"Joy to the world, the Lord is come"

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing, and Heaven and nature sing
And Heav'n, and Heav'n, nature sing
And Heav'n, and Heav'n and nature sing
