"This Is The Good News"

 

the story and the study

A FEW WORDS FROM
JORDAN MERRITT

We often think of the Gospel as just the good news that Jesus came to die for our sins. That IS good news. But, it’s just the beginning of the good news that Jesus came to give us.

Not only did He come to give us freedom from the power of sin and darkness, atonement for our sins, and a new life, but He also came to usher in His Kingdom! ALL of this is Good News!

He came, brought His Kingdom, died, rose again, ascended, sent His Spirit, established the Church, and He’s coming back again! It’s the greatest story ever told and each part of it carries so much importance for us! My prayer for this song is that we all get each part of His story deep in our spirits so that we can live free of sin, full of His power, and with great anticipation in our hearts for Jesus’ return!

“this is the good news” lyrics

Verse 1
Hear the sound of people singing
Who won’t be slaves again
Their joy complete in knowing
Their master is their friend
Oh, isn’t it good news?

Verse 2
He’ll take the broken things
And He will make them new
Even in the deepest sadness
His joy is breaking through
Oh, isn’t it good news?

Chorus
This is the gospel
That you came for us!
You broke through the darkness
Your weapon was love!
You poured out your Spirit
On daughters and sons
Oh, this is the gospel
Your kingdom has come!
This is the gospel!

Verse 3
Let every heart rejoice
For your salvation’s here
The king is on the throne
So you don’t have to fear
Oh, isn’t it good news?

Verse 4
His power is alive in us
His church is here to stay!
All Hell can’t stand against it
Our God will have His way!
Oh, isn’t it good news?

Bridge
All nations rise up, Rejoice, rejoice!
In every tongue, Rejoice, rejoice!
The war has been won!
Oh, this is the good news!
This is the good news!
