Ordinary Time - Joy Brand New lyrics

Come and Praise the Lord with joy brand new How he cherished the ones who re--jected 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 ene-----mies 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 (pause- enter all) 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!
