Amen
Joyous Celebration Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just like the prodigal son
He sinned against heaven and before you lord
But when he came back you embraced him
You hugged him and you kissed him

And I call it unconditional love
Love that's unexplainable
Mercy that is indescribable
Grace that I didn't deserve
Oh lord I thank you for redemption through your blood
And sin forgiveness
You took my place and you gave me life eternally

Hallelujah (Amen)
Glory hallelujah (Amen)
I serve a faithful god (Amen)
A loving god (Amen)
A powerful god (Amen)

Glory to the king of kings
He's so wonderful, nobody like him
Just give him glory
Nobody like the lord
H's so wonderful, he's so powerful
Yes the name of the lord is a strong tower righteous run to it
And they are safe oh yeah
I'm so glad to have a lord like him
Thousand may fall
Ten thousand by my right side

A man could not have loved so dearly Lord
You gave your son just for me
I'll forever praise Him
And I give you glory for what you've done
And what you are





I thank you, I thank you
I thank you, thank you Lord
