A new song

By Matt Redman

You've put a new song in my mouth
It is a hymn of praise to You
Justice and mercy are its theme
And I will live it back to You

The kind of fast You've chosen, Lord
It must reach out
To broken lives and to the poor
So change me, Lord
I know You are the orphan's hope
I know You are the widow's song
O Lord, You're showing me what's on Your heart

You've put a new song in my mouth
It is a hymn of praise to You
It's a hymn of praise
Justice and mercy are its theme
Justice and mercy
And I will live it back to You

Lord, I won't bring an empty song
It's meaningless 
Without compassion in my life and holiness
You're Father where no father lives
And to the lonely You're a Friend
O Lord, You're showing me what's on Your heart
What is on Your heart

You've put a new song in my mouth
It is a hymn of praise to You
It is to You
Justice and mercy are its theme
Justice and mercy
And I will live it back to You
Live it back to You

I know You are the orphan's hope, I know You are the widow's song
You're Father where no father lives, and to the lonely You're a Friend
O Lord, You're showing me what's on Your heart

You're a Friend
Let justice roll like a river
Let mercy flow to the needy
Oh

You're showing me what's on Your heart

You've put a new song in my mouth
It is a hymn of praise to You
Justice and mercy are its theme
And I will live it back to You

Let justice roll like a river
Let mercy flow to the needy
This is our song
This is the choir
Where You go, we will go, we will go 

Because we love you, Lord
