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 So rejoice, and rejoice And again I say rejoice And be glad, my soul Oh, and put your hope in the Lord 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 Rejoice, oh rejoice And again I say rejoice And be glad, my soul Oh, and put your hope in the Lord I die to live And lose to gain In weeping then I'll laugh again 'Cause hope will never disappoint Hey! 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 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
