Exceeding Joy

I've been asked about the song "Exceeding Joy" that we're doing on Sunday. (Yes, we'll do this for the first time at our church Sunday although, it is not a "brand new" song to the world at large - it was released on Hillsong's "Hope" project a few years ago. Many of you probably already know it. But it is such a favorite of mine and we have not done it yet at Northside. Why, I don't know since I have only listened to it on repeat sometimes 10 times a day...ever since the Hope CD first came out. (SMILE)

I do love this song immensely...

I hope you all find it as beautiful as I do. Take a listen and be ready for Sunday, if you don't already know it.

Here are the lyrics to Exceeding Joy:

I have found exceeding joy
Jesus answered when I called
This Name that has saved me
Pure love that embraced me

Mercy, grace, eternal life
Bought from darkness to His light

While lost in my sin, He
Raised me and made me live

My soul magnifies the Lord
My heart joys in God my Saviour
For He lifts the lowly
He's done great things for me
I will sing, praising evermore
He is mighty and Holy is His Name.

I will lift my head up high
Praising Jesus through each trial
Though I have not seen Him
I love Him completely
