Sermon Songs: Isaiah 61

Jesus the Lord’s Anointed One
Proclaims the year of grace
A great reversal, salvation
For us, the human race

The poor receive great hope anew
The humble His mercy
The mourning find His comfort true
The captive liberty

Those ruined by their sin and shame
Once broken and hopeless
Now beautiful in Jesus’ name
Clothed in His righteousness

So go to Jesus every hour
Find grace to meet your need
In all your weakness, seek His power
Upon His favor feed

Our Lord will come, end suffering
All evil He’ll defeat
We’ll praise Him with great rejoicing
Our salvation complete

– From a sermon on Isaiah 61
(To the tune of “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”)

Go to Jesus with your mourning and sorrow and find his comfort.

Go to Jesus with your captivity to sin and find freedom.

Go to Jesus with your sin and receive forgiveness and righteousness.

Go to Jesus with the ruins of your life and let him rebuild you into something beautiful.

Go to Jesus with your shame and dishonor and receive the honor and joy found in him.
