REJOICE!

[Verse 1]
Gratefulness opens the door
Where grumbling had it locked before
So I silence the muttering, I just start uttering
Praise from the depths of my heart
For every hurt, a harvest
And all my pain, a promise
In all of the suffering, You've been uncovering
Gold that's refined in the fire
So I'll sing in the midst of the fire

[Chorus]
So rejoice, and rejoice
And again I say rejoice
And be glad, my soul
Oh, and put your hope in the Lord

[Verse 2]
Though I'm battered and beaten
Every bruise has a meaning
If my heart's still beating and I'm still breathing
Ain't nothin' that could hinder my praise
For every tear, a memory
And every trial, a crown
When before You I'm standing, I won't be empty-handed
I'll have somethin' to lay at Your feet
A reward for all Your suffering, hey

[Chorus]
Rejoice, oh rejoice
And again I say rejoice
And be glad, my soul
Oh, and put your hope in the Lord

[Bridge]
I die to live
And lose to gain
In weeping then I'll laugh again
'Cause hope will never disappoint
Hey!

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
So rejoice (Rejoice), yeah rejoice (Rejoice)
And again I say rejoice
And be glad (Be glad), my soul (My soul)
Oh, and put your hope in the Lord
Rejoice (Rejoice), and rejoice (Rejoice)
And again I say rejoice
And be glad (Be glad), oh my soul (My soul)
Oh, and put your hope in the Lord

[Outro]
This world's gonna 'cause you some trouble
Yeah, that is a promise, my friend
He gave thanks before the cross
So we'll thank Him in the loss
'Cause what matters can't be taken away
Yeah, this world is fading anyway
