This uplifting piece makes the ideal Jubilee anthem. Inspired by Jesus’ manifesto in Luke 4:18 – 21, It joyfully captures the truth that is at the heart of our faith – that Jesus came for the broken and the lost, the weary and the wounded, so that all my have life to the full.
The promise of the great Jubilee is fulfilled in him.
Lyrics
He came for the captive
The lame and the blind and the oppressed
He came to bring justice,
healing and peace;
to comfort the grieving,
and to give weary souls his rest
And hope to the hopeless;
His love will not cease.
Jesus came and he died,
rose again, now reigns on high
and he offers life as it was meant to be.
We will shout, we will sing
He is Lord of everything
In his name we will
proclaim the Jubilee!

Can you provide the full set of lyrics to match the video please? I was blessed to hear you sing and teach BSL for this song at a recent conference.
The lyrics I find online don’t match your version. The lyrics above are not the full version.
Hi Kerry, as we don’t own the copyright to this song we haven’t provided the full lyric here. Sorry about that.
Is there a backing track available for the school choirs version? It is in a much better key that the lyric video.
Thanks
The backing track for this is work-in-progress, and will be released imminently, please God 🙏🏾🙏🏼
