This will be my 98th scripture song video! I didn't realize how many scripture songs I'd uploaded to You Tube until just a few days ago! That's exciting to me. I love to share God's Word this way. I know by doing this I'm helping people to hide His Word in their hearts. To me there could be no higher calling.
This particular song, I learned back in the late 70s @ a church called the Sonoma Mountain Lighthouse. I have no idea who composed the music, but it was instantly one of my favorites the first time I heard it, and I don't even know if I was a believer yet the first time I heard it! I think I may have heard it for the first time in 1976 when my sister came to stay with me when I lived in Glen Ellen, CA. She invited me to go with her to a church she'd found that met on top of a mountain under a parachute! I loved the music, but I wasn't really into church at the time! It wasn't until August of 1977 that I found Jesus for real and asked Him to be my Savior! Anyway, I hope this song is a blessing to you!
Therefore the re(C)deemed of the Lord shall return
And come with (F)singing unto (D7)Zion
And ever(C)lasting joy shall (G7)be upon their (C)head. (x2)
They shall ob(F)tain gladness and (C)joy,
And (Am)sorrow and (D7)mourning
Shall flee a(G)wa-a-a-a-a-(G7)ay!
Therefore the re(C)deemed of the Lord shall return
And come with (F)singing unto (D7)Zion
And ever(C)lasting joy shall (G7)be upon their (C)head.
(F)Isaiah fifty-(C)one, (Cb)e(C)leven.
