The Lord provided for a time
for the slaves to be set free
For the debts to all be canceled
so His chosen ones could see
His deep desire was for forgiveness,
He longed to see their liberty
And His yearning was embodied
in the Year of Jubilee
Chorus:
Jubilee, Jubilee
Jesus is our Jubilee
Debts forgiven
Slaves set free
Jesus is our Jubilee
At the Lord's appointed time
His deep desire became a man
The heart of all true jubilation
and with joy we understand
In his voice we hear a trumpet sound
that tells us we are free
He is the incarnation
Of the year of Jubilee
(Chorus)
To be so completely guilty,
given over to despair
To look into your judges face,
and see a Savior there
