Joy Brand New Lyrics

Come and Praise the Lord with joy brand new

And hear the old, old story

How he cherished the ones who rejected him

Reversing the fall, lifting us all

Up to glory again

The Lord has made us to worship him

Our origin and our resting place.

But we placed our hearts on the gifts he gave

Worshipping frauds, fashioning gods

Of the good things he made

But he saw the need of his enemies

Of all people; you and me

And came uninvited to his own earth

Humbly born, greeted with scorn

Seeking the human's curse!

Now Christ has known an imposter's shame

A stranger in the world he made

In the place of idolaters, God was blamed

But the world it was won, foes became sons

Of the most high again!

Come and praise the Lord with joy brand new

And raise a fresh hallelujah

For the old, old story belongs to you

You who were lost, strangers to God

Welcomed as heirs again
