THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD

Israel was given a special year of celebration;

This was the Golden Jubilee occasion.

Special blessings would abound to one and all;

If only they would listen to the Lord’s call.

 

Freedom was the main theme of the Golden Jubilee;

All who are oppressed would be given liberty.

Debts are cancelled because of grace given;

This was a year of special blessing from heaven.

 

The Lord Jesus had come to proclaim liberty;

All may be freed from sin’s terrible tyranny.

The power of Satan would be broken;

Nobody needs to feel that he is forsaken!

 

The acceptable year of the Lord is indeed glorious;

The sinner would receive God’s imputed righteousness.

A New Life would be given to the true believer;

He would find freedom and the Holy Spirit’s power!
