Joy Unspeakable Joy by Chris Tomlin

 Chris Tomlin

 

Joy to the world! The Lord is come.Let earth receive her KingLet every heartPrepare Him roomAnd Saints and angels singAnd Saints and angels singAnd Saints and Saints and angels sing
Joy to the world, the Saviour reignsLet Saints their songs employWhile fields and floodsRocks, hills and plainsRepeat the sounding joyRepeat the sounding joyRepeat, Repeat, the sounding joy
Joy to the world with truth and graceAnd makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousnessAnd wonders of His loveAnd wonders of His loveAnd wonders and wonders of His love
No more will sin and sorrow grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;He'll come and make the blessings flowFar as the curse was found,Far as the curse was found,Far as, far as the curse was found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,And gives to nations proofThe glories of His righteousness,And wonders of His love;And wonders of His love;And wonders, wonders of His love.
Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,While Israel spreads abroadLike stars that glitter in the sky,And ever worship God,And ever worship God,And ever, and ever worship God.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms by The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi

 Five Blind Boys of Mississippi

 

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,Leaning on the everlasting arms;What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,Leaning on the everlasting arms.Refrain:Leaning, leaning,Safe and secure from all alarms;Leaning, leaning,Leaning on the everlasting arms.Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,Leaning on the everlasting arms;Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,Leaning on the everlasting arms.What have I to dread, what have I to fear,Leaning on the everlasting arms?I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,Leaning on the everlasting arms
