51 Living Before God Is Such a Joy
Verse 1
Brothers and sisters gather in the church to sing
joyfully and dance in praise of God, the King.
He became flesh and came to the world,
He speaks the truth to save us.
We hear the voice of God, we are raptured and so joyous.

Before the throne, we attend the feast!
Before the throne, we attend the feast!

We sing and we laugh, the joy has no end!
The joy has no end!

When brothers and sisters meet, we feel close to each other.
Words can’t express our joy, we’re happy when together.

We understand the truth, joy comes to our spirits.

No rituals, no rules—all is liberated and free!
No rituals, no rules—all is liberated and free!

Bridge
Brothers and sisters go through God’s work,
submit to judgment, chastisement.
We’re made honest, freed from deceit.
We love without barriers.
We obey truth, don’t act on emotions.
Judgment cleanses our corruption.
With peace and joy we’re filled.
Chorus
We enjoy God’s words, we live before Him.
We sing and we laugh, the joy has no end!
The joy has no end!
Verse 3
Brothers and sisters, rise up, let us be of one mind
in fulfilling all our duties, the duties of mankind.
Share the gospel, bear witness to God,
that His will may be fulfilled.
All our voices raised in praise to sing so joyfully.
Pre-chorus 3
Brothers and sisters, let’s sing and praise loudly!
Brothers and sisters, let’s sing and praise loudly!
Chorus
We enjoy God’s words, we live before Him.
We sing and we laugh, the joy has no end!
We enjoy God’s words, we live before Him.
We sing and we laugh, the joy has no end!
The joy has no end, the joy has no end!
