Rejoice Evermore

 

 

Where is joy unspeakable and full of glory?
Where is the rejoicing in that old, old story?
How it must grieve God’s Spirit today
To see his children so far astray -
Looking to circumstances rather than Him;
Striving and fighting at every whim...
Hearts filled with hatred, judgment and sin,
Not willing to bow for cleansing within.
Repentance is needed where there’s doom and gloom.
For such in God’s kingdom, there just isn’t room.
Christ came to give abundant life -
Giving joy and peace in place of strife.
He fights the battle for us as we walk and pray,
Giving the victory day by day.
Oh, glory to God, praise His holy name,
Our gracious God is ever the same -
Ready to forgive, to cleanse and make whole,
Bringing lost sinners into his fold.
So, why should we fret or fear things to come,
Or be heavy ladened and weary as some?
Let us come unto Christ and He’ll give us rest,
Richly blessing us with His very best.
Lord, deliver us from oppression I pray,
And may we follow only Thee each day.
Lead us in the paths that we should take,
That we might truly serve thee for Thy name’s sake;
And may we obey this clear command
Given in scripture by Thine own hand:
"If there be any virtue, if there be any praise,
Think on these things" and "Rejoice Evermore".

 

"For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name."
(Ps. 33:21)
