We sing and dance with joy!

You forgive my sin and cleanse me within
I sing and dance with joy!
You help me and guide me
I sing and dance with joy!

We sing and dance with joy!
Praise the LORD all His creatures
We sing and dance with joy!

As we name others in our nation at this time
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To listen to what You are saying
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
