1.

Let God be extolled! For mighty things He’s done!
What a joy untold—a new life has begun.
We have favor found; together we’ve been brought!
Let God’s praises sound for brotherhood He’s wrought!

Chorus:

Darkness has to part, for God has gripped our hearts!
And the latter end He’ll bless more than the start!
He’ll restore to us the years the locusts ate.
Mighty things He does! Fear not, for He is great!

2.

We have seen a wonder none but One could do!
Bands are burst asunder! All things are made new!
Where there was no way or possibility,
By God’s grace today this miracle we see!

Chorus:

What a glorious sight! A fire God did ignite!
And in Jesus’ name we’ve risen up to fight.
Hoping ’gainst all hope, this victory is won!
Who can see the scope of what the Lord’s begun?

3.

Sing with jubilation! Praise the Lord of life!
Glorious election to be Jesus’ wife!
By God’s mighty grace each hindrance we break through!
Boldly in the race, the goal we now pursue.

Chorus:

We won’t be dismayed when trials come our way,
For the God of wonders close by us will stay.
Is the race for swift ones? Battles for the strong?
No, for God uplifts the weak who for Him long!

4.

God Himself has given fire and zeal within.
By Christ’s love we’re driven to cleanse out our sin.
Nothing can appease us! Nothing must remain.
Through the death of Jesus every foe is slain!

Chorus:

Darkness has to part, for God has gripped our hearts!
And the latter end He’ll bless more than the start!
He’ll restore to us the years the locusts ate.
Mighty things He does! Fear not, for He is great!
(Hag. 2:9 | Joel 2:25-27)
