Joyful (The One Who Saves)

Joyful joyful we adore You
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before You
Opening to the Son above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of eternal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

You are the One who saves, You are the One who saves
You are the One whose hands lift us from the grave
You are the light of life, the everlasting day
You are the One who takes all our sins away

You are giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Fountain of the joy of living
Ocean depths of happy rest

Jesus you are my rescue, Jesus you are my rescue
I give you everything I am
