We Rejoice in You [Inspired by ‘Every Nation’]

Lyrics

[Introduction] Oh-oh-oh… Oh-oh-oh… Every nation, every tongue— Lift a new hallelujah. [Verse 1] I can’t keep this praise inside me, You’ve been far too good to me. You were, You are, You always will be— So I’ll lift my voice and sing. From quiet rooms to open streets, From mountain towns to the island seas, One small voice becomes a family When Your people sing. [Pre-Chorus] So wake up the drums, wake up the choir, Let every heart become an altar. From the dust, from the dark, from every voice You’ve renewed— We lift our joy to You. [Chorus] Let every nation rejoice in You, Every tribe and tongue bring a hallelujah new. Forever the same, still making all things new— We rejoice in You. Let every people lift high Your name, One holy sound from a world You came to save. Jesus, our hope, our rescue, and our truth— We rejoice in You. [Verse 2] I thank— [band drops out; bass slides up the neck] You for mercy— [bass slides back down; full band returns] That met me in my shame. For grace sufficient when I had no strength, For love that called me by name. You came down and You took my place, Carried the cross, walked into the grave, Then rose with the morning and broke every chain— It’s only by You I’m saved. [Pre-Chorus 2] So wake up the drums, wake up the choir, Let every heart become an altar. From the grave, from the ground, from the life made new— We lift our joy to You. [Chorus] Let every nation rejoice in You, Every tribe and tongue bring a hallelujah new. Forever the same, still making all things new— We rejoice in You. Let every people lift high Your name, One holy sound from a world You came to save. Jesus, our hope, our rescue, and our truth— We rejoice in You. [Bridge] Alleluia, hear the nations sing. Alleluia to the risen King. Alleluia, every voice made new— God, we rejoice in You. Hallelujah, from the valley low. Hallelujah, let the whole earth know. Hallelujah, every heart made new— God, we rejoice in You. [Bridge Build / Choir Response] Every nation— We rejoice in You. Every tribe and tongue— We rejoice in You. Every daughter, every son— We rejoice in You. Till the whole world sings as one— We rejoice in You. [Final Chorus] Let every nation rejoice in You, Every tribe and tongue bring a hallelujah new. Forever the same, still making all things new— We rejoice in You. Let every people lift high Your name, One holy sound from a world You came to save. Jesus, our hope, our rescue, and our truth— We rejoice in You. Let every nation rejoice in You, Every tribe and tongue bring a hallelujah new. Forever the same, still making all things new— We rejoice in You. [Ending] From every nation, every voice made new— God, we rejoice in You. One holy sound from every tribe and tongue— God, we rejoice in You.
