THIS IS THE YEAR (Isaiah 61)
Deborah Kline-iantorno & Vince Iantorno ©2011


The Spirit of the Lord is upon me for He has anointed me,
To bring the good news to the poor and bind up the broken hearted.
To bring to Zion a crown of beauty, instead of ashes, oil of joy.
Instead of mourning, songs of praise,
an everlasting covenant all your days!

This is the year, this is the year, this is the year of the Lord’s favor!
This is the year, this is the year , this is the year of the Lord’s favor, this is the
year of the Lord’s favor, this is the year of the Lord’s favor!

You will be called the righteous ones; His splendor will shine on you.
A crown of jewels given to His bride, will forever adorn you.
Blessing and honor instead of shame, a double portion of all.
Removing darkness from the light
And to the blind, restore their sight!

To bring to Zion a crown of beauty, instead of ashes, oil of joy.
Instead of mourning, songs of praise,
an everlasting covenant all your days!

This is the year, this is the year, this is the year of the Lord’s favor!
This is the year, this is the year, this is the year of the Lord’s favor!
This is the year, this is the year , this is the year of the Lord’s favor, this is the year of the Lord’s favor, this is the year of the Lord’s favor!
