Shout For Joy

Shout for joy for the victory is won.
Up from the tomb rose God’s own Son.

All born of men are doomed to die,
For we have sinned against God Most High.
But He, Jesus, the King of kings,
Has come to us and life He brings.

Seeing us fallen, wearing sin’s chains,
Great was His mourning and sore were His pains.
He does not desire that any should perish.
His hearts’ full of love and us He does cherish.

But because He is loving, He’s also just;
For Him to be good, to hate corruptions’ a must.
Therefore so that justice could be satisfied,
He, the spotless Lamb, for our sin was crucified.

Willingly He came to Earth and lived a perfect life,
Then Jesus died in our place and ended our strife.
However, He spent only three days buried in the grave;
Christ defeated death for, to it, He is no slave.

Shout for joy for the victory is won.
Up from the tomb rose God’s own Son.

Now you and I have nothing to fear,
For unto us the Saviors’ drawn near.
For all who trust Jesus, death has no sting.
We’ve been washed in the blood, and to Christ we sing.

Our ransom has been paid and our guilt washed away,
By Jesus Christ Who is the Life, Truth and Way.
His salvation is a free gift accepted through faith,
So, repent of sin and trust in every word He saith.

Eternal life spent with Him in glory awaits;
Everyone is invited to enter Heaven’s gates.
But we must believe in Jesus, the Great I Am,
For sin can only be cleansed by the Spotless Lamb.

Come now to Jesus and join in the rejoicing.
Take part in the praise all heavens’ voicing.
Hallelujah to Jesus our God.
In Him we’re raised to life and with righteousness shod.

Shout for joy for the victory is won.
Up from the tomb rose God’s own Son.
