How sweet, upon the lips of Jesus,
are the towns and cities of this nation
His words bind up the broken-hearted
Bringing, healing hope and restoration
He lifts the mist of darkness
That has settled on this land
From Lies to truth and blind to sight
Jesus turns it all around
When Jesus comes everything changes
When Jesus comes cities are transformed
When Jesus comes dark shadows tremble
When Jesus comes its good news for all
How sweet to hear the children playing
Their homes are filled with joy and laughter
how beautiful is the city of gold?
For those sleeping on a cold winter floor
he rescues men from despair
lifts depression from lives
from down and out to peace and joy
Jesus turns it all around
From judgment to mercy and Prison to freedom
From Bondage to victory and Darkness to light
From Ashes to beauty and Deafness to hearing
From weakness to glory and Blindness to sight
How sweet the sound of strongholds falling
Their curses broken their giants fallen
he breaks the chains of those in bondage
he lifts the fear of those held captive
He frees girls who work the streets
saves children from the gangs
From Hate to love and Old to new
Jesus turns it all around
