The Year of Our Lord

Luke 3:21-22When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too.
And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.
And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."

1. The Spirit of God was upon us

In his name we were anointed

We preached good news to the poor

And we healed the broken hearted

We proclaimed liberty to the captives

We set free all the prisoners who were bound among us

in the year of our Lord. It was the year of our Lord…

      …the acceptable year of our Lord.

Luke 4:^16-19 Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.
And he stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

            "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
                             He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
                                                   to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

2. The Spirit of God was upon us; In his name we’ve been anointed

to preach Good News to the poor and to heal the broken hearted

To proclaim Liberty in Liberia

To set free all the prisoners who are bound among us in the year of our Lord

It is the year of our Lord. It’s the acceptable year of our Lord

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst

for righteousness for they shall be filled.”

Yes we shall be filled.

(St. Gregory Lee of Braytonia on the lead guitar)

^{Luke 4:20-21}Then Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying to them,
"Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

This is the year of our Lord. It’s the year of our Lord

It’s the acceptable year of our Lord

The Spirit of God is upon us; In his name we’ve been anointed

To preach good news to the poor and to heal the broken hearted;

To proclaim liberty in America;

To set free all the prisoners who are found among us in the year of our Lord.

It is the year of our Lord. It’s the acceptable year of our Lord.

Isaiah 61:1-4
"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me; To preach good tidings to the poor;
        He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
       To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God;
        To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes,
        The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness,
        The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations,
        And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.”
