Resurrection joy.

Beethoven's " Ode to Joy" tune from his ninth Symphony must be one of the most joyful tunes in history, so I thought I would add my own lyrics.

Sing loud songs of exaltation, Christ is risen from the grave.

Gladly bring your adoration, Jesus Christ has power to save.

Satan’s power has been defeated,

Death and hell have lost their sting

Christ’s redeemed rise up together

Joyful alleluias bring.

Now there is no condemnation, Christ has taken all my sin

Gladly on the cross he bore it, fallen humankind to win

Now we have the living Spirit

Giving life to mortal flesh

Filling us with full assurance,

Clothed with Jesu’s righteousness

We are filled with Christ’s own Spirit, clothing us with risen power.

We shall walk the road with Jesus, day by day and hour by hour

We proclaim the gospel message:

"We are saved by Jesus’ love"

Bringing many souls to Jesus,

Linking earth with heaven above.
Tune: Ode to Joy, Beethoven
