For God so loved the world, God gave God’s only son,
that through him life is found and our salvation won.
With gladsome voice, give thanks to God for God is good! May all rejoice!
For Christ did not descend upon us to condemn,
but that we might be saved and live to follow him.
With gladsome voice, give thanks to God for God is good! May all rejoice!
Let’s celebrate the news that God has conquered sin,
that evil forces all around no more may win.
With gladsome voice, give thanks to God for God is good! May all rejoice!
All praise to God above for we are God’s design.
Christ wins the fight; let’s share the light; may justice shine!
With gladsome voice, give thanks to God for God is good! May all rejoice!
