Verse 1

He is anointed by the Father
To bring the good news to the poor
To bind the broken hearts
And open prison doors

The Spirit of God
Rests on His shoulders
The voice that called the Earth to life
Is speaking out again
He’s the prophecy fulfilled

He is the oil of gladness
Instead of mourning
And the garment of praise
A double portion a greater blessing
And joy instead of shame
A crown of beauty instead of ashes
And righteousness restored
He is the favor of the Lord

Verse 3

The lion of Judah root of David
Seated on high forever crowned
His glory on display
He’s the name above all names

Chorus

He is the oil of gladness
Instead of mourning
And the garment of praise
A double portion a greater blessing
And joy instead of shame
A crown of beauty instead of ashes
And righteousness restored
He is the favor of the Lord

He’s the voice of jubilee
He’s redeeming everything
He’s the song the captives sing
And it sounds like freedom
See the fields are bursting forth
See the planting of the Lord
He’s the one we’ve waited for
He’s the coming Kingdom

He’s the final sacrifice
Hear the name the angels cry
It’s the name of Jesus
And it sounds like freedom
It’s the coming Kingdom
His name is Jesus

A double portion a greater blessing
And joy instead of shame
A crown of beauty instead of ashes
And righteousness restored

And the garment of praise
A double portion a greater blessing
And joy instead of shame
A crown of beauty instead of ashes
And righteousness restored
He is the favor of the Lord

It sounds like freedom
Liberty jubilee
It sounds like Jesus
