Lyrics:
We delight in the law of your Word
We delight in the Son that was perfect from birth
We delight in the day He’s returning to earth
Hallelujah
We will bow our hearts because we are free
As we raise our hands to give You glory
Father of life and love and infinite worth
We’re delivered by blood that flows from the tree
Draw us near to You, vessels of Your mercy
Before the invention of man…the glorious trinity
We will lift our eyes to the cloud and the flame
Lord, You guide our steps and restore us again
The nations of man will rejoice in the God of the Wilderness

From the Author:
“We Delight was written as a link between the two testaments concenring worship. The first verse is a reflection of our reasons to rejoice in the church age while the second verse demonstrates the joy that the Israelites experienced after their deliverance and conquest of the promised land. The chorus is the proverbial “middle ground.” Through every facet of ancient Jewish ceremonial law, the Israel of the Old Testament was very clearly celebrating the coming of Christ and looking forward in time to his Sacrifice. Meanwhile, the Christians of the present age look back the crucifixition in worship and doctrine. Therefore, the children of God from every age may rejoice in the same thing.”
