About this Hymn
This call to worship, inspired by Philippians 4, speaks directly to the challenges of our time, especially the common struggle with anxiety. Paul's exhortation to "rejoice in the Lord always" is not a shallow call to optimism; it is a radical invitation to rejoice not necessarily in our circumstances but in the unshakable goodness of the Lord. In every season, in every trial he is near—and that changes everything.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; sing it again, we rejoice. Delight in the love he has shown us, gratefully lift up your voice. His gentleness among us will join our hearts with praise. We gather in his goodness, a family of grace.
Chorus
With each breath he's given, praise the Lord! In these times we live in, we will praise the Lord. Throughout ev'ry season, I am sure we have ev'ry reason to praise the Lord.
Verse 2
Rejoice and be anxious for nothing, praying for all that you need. Come with a song of thanksgiving; lay your requests at his feet. His peace will fall upon us to guard our hearts and minds in Christ, who reigns eternal, the Shepherd of our lives.
Verse 3
Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; tell of the good he has done. Worship the Lord to remember all of the joy yet to come. The hope that burns within us the dark cannot destroy. With praise that's never ending, we say again, "Rejoice!"
