Lyrics
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon you
Because he has anointed you to preach good news
The Spirit of the Sovereign God 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)
To release the ones in darkness (this is the day)
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
The Spirit of the Sovereign God is upon us
Because he has anointed us to preach good news
He will comfort all who mourn (this is the year)
He will provide for those who grieve (this is the day)
He's pouring out his oil of gladness (this is the year)
Instead of mourning, we will praise (this is the day)
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
(This is the year of his favor
Oh, come to him
Receive from heaven
He will comfort all who mourn
He will provide for those who grieve in Zion
He's pouring out his oil of gladness
Instead of mourning, we will praise
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
This is the day of the vengeance of our God
(This is the day to receive the favor of the Lord
This is the day to receive the favor of the Lord
This is the year (this is the year) when he's pouring Out his gifts of gladness
Pouring out his heart of joy
Pouring out his love upon the needy)
