Lyrics: 
VERSE 1:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon you
Because He has anointed you to preach good news
The Spirit of the Sovereign God is upon you
Because He has anointed you to preach good news
He has sent you to the poor
This is the year
To bind up the broken-hearted
This is the day
To bring freedom to the captives
This is the year
And to release the ones in darkness

Chorus:
This is the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day of the vengeance of our God
This is the year of the favor of the Lord
This is the day of the vengeance of our God

VERSE 2:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon us
Because He has anointed us to preach good news
The Spirit of the Sovereign God is upon us
Because He has anointed us to preach good news
He will comfort all who mourn
This is the year
He will provide for those who grieve
This is the day
He will pour out the oil of gladness
This is the year
Instead of mourning, you will praise

This song is so awesome! It has that special memory for me. I heard it on the Vineyard classic CD, Winds Of Worship 5 - Live From Arnhem Holland, in 1997. The whole album was a tremendous blessing, with such songs as More, Sweet Mercies, Sweet Wind, Break Dividing Walls, My Jesus I Love Thee, etc. It featured worship leaders Andy Park, David Ruis and Brian Doerksen. If you have never heard this song, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQON3LNV8z4. Blessings!
