153 Our Joy at God’s Salvation
I
We sing and we dance, we joyful people with fervent hearts!
Receiving God’s salvation, we offer up our hearts. We praise God with loud voices and we dance in joy for Him.
We bestir ourselves and pursue the truth. We are no longer negative, and our spirits find liberation.
We open our hearts and follow the rhythm, hand in hand, heart to heart.
We open our hearts and follow the rhythm, we want God to feel our joy.
We do not want to put God through any more pain or heartbreak.
II
We open our hearts and move our arms in dance. Who stirs our hearts? For whom do our tears run?
God’s judgment cleanses us and we are moved to tears.
We welcome hope with open arms.
We practice the truth, seek to love God, and live for God;
our sorrows gradually fall away.
God is merciful, He sows the seeds of love. We, being dust, become good fruit.
God is merciful, He sows the seeds of love.
Corrupt mankind is so favored and enjoys such great salvation.

Oh, Almighty God! You love us so! In this life, we live only for You.
Though trials bring us pain, Your love is with us. We will follow You to the end.
I practice the truth, and I am loyal and submissive. I don’t want to make You worry about me anymore.
In this life, we live only for You.
We will dedicate ourselves to You to our very last breath.
In this life, we live only for You. We sing wonderful songs, and dance such joyful dances, only for You.
