The garments of praise, instead of mourning
A shining crown, instead of ashes
And glory in the place of despair
I delight greatly in You
My soul rejoices and sings
For You took my empty life
And filled it with every good thing
You have given me the oil of gladness
The garments of praise, instead of mourning
A shining crown, instead of ashes
And glory in the place of despair
When my life was without purpose
You gave me a reason to live
Now my heart is full of thanksgiving
For all of the riches You give
You have given me the oil of gladness
The garments of praise, instead of mourning
A shining crown, instead of ashes
// And glory in the place of despair //
