Oaks of Righteousness

Holy Spirit Almighty Lord,
Who I will not let be ignored;
Has anointed me with Good News,
Deliver and never refuse.

To humble people he has sent,
Go and announce is where I went;
The brokenhearted for to heal,
And boosting their spiritual zeal.

A pledge of captives will be free,
And prisoners able to see;
The day that they will be released,
Before the day of the big feast.

Because of the day for His wrath,
Will be directly on your path;
A fire from the sky will crash,
The place where you stand into ash.

The day of vengeance will soon come,
To comfort all those who are glum;
With oil of joy who believe,
Instead of the tears that they grieve.

Clothes of praise instead of despair,
Having branches with leaves to share;
Shelter from rays of the noon sun,
Feeling relief what the storm done.

For you are oaks of righteousness.
Spreading branches to go and bless;
You are the morning tree of light,
That changes mourning to be bright.
