Joy of the Redeemed
(David Cooley)

     Bm                   G
The desert sand bursts into bloom
     A
The raging seas are fast subdued
      Bm                G
The splendor of His mighty hand
    A
Is everywhere displayed

     Bm                    G
The blind will come to see at last
     A
The deaf will hear the trumpets blast
    Bm                    G
The lame will walk on perfect limbs
     A
The mute will sing with joy

                      Bm       G A
	And we shall praise Him, for the son He gave us
                   Bm      G     A
	We shall praise Him, He shed His blood to save us
                   Bm      G      A
	We shall praise Him, give glory unto God
                      Bm       G       A                        Bm      G   A
	And we shall praise Him, He's given us the joy of the redeemed!

Joy will be the crown we wear
All our sorrows fall away
We will march through Heaven's gate
And bow before our Lord

With joyful hearts we'll dance and sing
Give praises to the risen king
Lift our hands, exalt His name
Rejoice! We are redeemed!

[chorus]

     G          F#m7    Em
	For our God so loved the world
     G          F#m7          Bm
	That He gave His only son
     D            A            G        D
	Who sacrificed Himself, so that we can live
     Em             F#m7   G             A
	It's by His blood that we are redeemed!
