The Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me The Spirit of the Lord is upon me For the Lord has anointed me Yes, the Lord has anointed me He sent me to preach good news to the poor And to bind up the broken in heart To proclaim his freedom to all who are bound All who are bound The Spirit of the Lord is upon me The Spirit of the Lord is upon me For the Lord has anointed me Yes, the Lord has anointed me He sent me to preach the year of his grace And that vengeance belongs to our God And to comfort all those who mourn and who grieve All those who grieve To give them beauty for ashes, for mourning the oil of joy And for the spirit of sorrow the garment of praise And they will be called the trees of righteousness Planted by God's own hand that he may be glorified The Spirit of the Lord is upon me And I will greatly rejoice in the Lord The Spirit of the Lord is upon me And my soul will exult in my God For the Lord has anointed me Yes, the Lord has anointed me He sent me to preach good news to the poor And to bind up the broken in heart To proclaim his freedom to all who are bound All who are bound And I will greatly rejoice in the Lord And my soul shall exult in my God For He's clothed me with garments of his salvation He's wrapped me with robes of his righteousness Yes, upon me is the Spirit of the Lord Upon me is the Spirit of the Lord He's anointed me with the Spirit of the Lord
