REJOICE!

Don Fortner

 

Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,

Again, I say, Rejoice!

Rejoice to know that Christ is Lord,

Rejoice in all He does.

Though sin may cause your heart to sigh,

Rejoice in Christ's shed blood:

He died that you might never die,

Redeemed you by His blood.

 

Our joy is not in earthly things,

In things that time may change:

Our joy is in our God and King,

In Him who stays the same.

 

Always, and in all things, I say,

Children of God, Rejoice!

In everything God has His way:

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
