The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, oh, He's upon me, yes He is
Because the Lord hath anointed me, He's anointed me, hallelujah
To preach good tidings unto the meek, good news is here, oh yes
We are the trees of righteousness, planted by His hand

We stand strong in His joyfulness, oh yes, we understand
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, bend our hearts, Lord, bend our hearts
To proclaim liberty to the captives, set us free, Lord, set us free
And the opening of the prison for the bound, open wide, Lord, open wide

We are the trees of righteousness, planted by His hand
We stand strong in His joyfulness, oh yes, we understand
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of His grace
And the day of vengeance of our God, He brings justice to this place

To comfort all that mourn, comfort, sweet comfort we need
To appoint unto them that morn in Zion, beauty for ashes, indeed
To give the oil of joy for mourning, joy in our hearts we seek, oh yes
The covenant of praise for the spirit of happiness, lift us up, Lord, we're free

We are the trees of righteousness, planted by His hand
We stand strong in His joyfulness, oh yes, we understand
That they might be called trees of righteousness, roots deep in His grace
The planting of the Lord, glorified in His place

We are the trees of righteousness, we are His glorious plant
