Joy to the World by Phil Wickham

Phil Wickham

Joy to the world, the savior reignsLet men their songs employWhile fields and floodsRocks, hills and plainsRepeat the sounding joyRepeat the sounding joyRepeat, repeat, the sounding joy

And we will sing, sing, singJoy to the worldWe will sing, sing, sing

He rules the world with truth and graceAnd makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousnessWonders of His loveAnd wonders of His loveAnd wonders, wonders, of His love

We will sing, sing, singOh, joy to the worldWe will sing, sing, singJoy to the world

Joyful, joyful, we adore TheeGod of glory, Lord of loveHearts unfold like flowers before TheeOp'ning to the sun above

We will sing, sing, singJoy to the worldWe will sing, sing, sing

Holy Forever by CeCe Winans

CeCeWinans

A thousand generations falling down in worshipTo sing the song of ages to the LambAnd all who've gone before us and all who will believeWill sing the song of ages to the Lamb

Your name is the highestYour name is the greatestYour name stands above them allAll thrones and dominionsAll powers and positionsYour name stands above them all

And the angels cry, "Holy"All creation cries, "Holy"You are lifted high, holyHoly forever

If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemedSing the song forever to the LambAnd if you walk in freedom and if you bear His nameSing the song forever to the LambWe'll sing the song forever and amen

And the angels cry, "Holy"All creation cries, "Holy"You are lifted high, holyHoly foreverHear your people sing, "Holy"To the King of kings, holyYou will always be, holyHoly forever

Your name is the highestYour name is the greatestYour name stands above them allAll thrones and dominionsAll powers and positionsYour name stands above them allJesus, Your name is the highestYour name is the greatestYour name stands above them allAbove all thrones and dominionsAll powers and positionsYour name stands above them all

And the angels cry, "Holy"All creation cries, "Holy"You are lifted high, holyHoly foreverHear your people sing, "Holy" (Holy)To the King of kings, holyYou will always be, holyHoly forever

You will always be, holyHoly forever
