[Verse 1]
Don't give way to circumstances thatmay try to bring you down
Get on your feet and start praise dancing on the road of higher grounds
[Pre-Chorus 1]
God inhabits the praises of His people
Let us make a joyful noise
Clap your hands, oh ye people
Claim the joy of the Lord as yours
[Chorus]
Rejoice in the Lord always and again, I say rejoice
Rejoice let us give God praise yes oh yes we must rejoice
This is the day that the Lord has made and I chose to rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
[Verse 2]
Cast down all imagination contrary to the Father's word
And His son's name
Speak joy into your situation
Let it be seen, let it be heard
Don't be afraid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The devil is defeated in the name of Jesus
Victory's mission is completed
Walk in faith and claim your freedom
[Chorus]
Rejoice in the Lord always and again, I say rejoice
Rejoice let us give God praise yes oh yes we must rejoice
This is the day that the Lord has made and I chose to rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
[Bridge]
If you've been used or abused, count it all joy
Hurt or sued, count it all joy
Lied to, lied on, count it all joy
Hated on, cheated on, count it all joy
Overworked, underpaid, count it all joy
Slandered or betrayed
Whatever the case, don't you worry
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning
Everybody rejoice, rejoice
Lift your hands and rejoice, rejoice
Everybody rejoice, rejoice
Lift your hands and rejoice, rejoice
[Chorus]
Rejoice in the Lord always and again, I say rejoice
Rejoice let us give God praise yes oh yes we must rejoice
This is the day that the Lord has made and I chose to rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
Rejoice!
