Rejoice in the Lord

O rejoice, ooh
 O rejoice, oooh
 O rejoice
 God never moves without purpose or plan
 When trying His servant and molding a man
 Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long
 In darkness He giveth a song (He giveth a song)
 O rejoice in the Lord, He makes no mistake
 He knoweth the end of each path that I take
 For when I am tried and purified
 I shall come forth as gold (O rejoice)
 I could not see through the shadows ahead
 So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead
 I bowed to the will of the Master that day (Master that day)
 Then peace came and tears fled away
 Tears fled away (tears fled away)
 Now I can see testing comes from above
 God strengthens His children and purges in love
 My Father knows best, and I trust in His care
 Through purging more fruit I will bear (I will bear)
 (O rejoice)
 O rejoice in the Lord, He makes no mistake
 He knoweth the end of each path that I take
 For when I am tried and purified
 I shall come forth
 I shall come forth (I shall come forth)
