Lyrics
The Spirit of the Sovereign God
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord
Is upon you
Because he has anointed you to preach
good news
The Spirit of the Sovereign God
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord
Is upon you
Because he has anointed you to preach
good news
He has sent you to the poor
(This is the year)
To bind up the broken hearted
(This is the day)
To bring freedom to the captives
(This is the year)
And to release the ones in darkness
Chorus
This is the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day of the vengeance of our God
This is the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day of the vengeance of our God
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon us
Because he has anointed us to preach good news
(Repeat)
He will comfort all who mourn (This is the year)
He will provide for those who grieve (This is the day)
He will pour out the oil of gladness (This is the year)
Instead of mourning you will praise
(Chorus)
This is the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day of the vengeance of our God
This is the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day of the vengeance of our God
