ALWAYS REJOICE IN THE LORD!

He’s not a disappointment and it’s a certainty,
That if you follow after Him, like Him you’ll surely be!
Regardless of the circumstance, He’ll never let you down;
For Jesus doesn’t disappoint or make us wear a frown!
He’ll be your inspiration on your blackest, darkest day.
You’ll know that He is with you, no matter what men say.
There’s such a simple answer, to those who ask you “why?”
Tell them you’ll believe Him, till the very day you die.
The secret’s understanding just what is meant by “hope”
.
It isn’t accidental with which you cannot cope.
It means it is more certain than the rising of the sun.
A truth that’s indisputable like yesterday is done.
There really is no question that it’s going to take place.
And if you could but see it, it’s staring in your face.
With this kind of attitude, how can you but rejoice?
There isn’t an inflection in the joy within your voice.
There isn’t an alternative to what you think and feel.
The answer is quite definite and absolutely real.
Perhaps you are in trouble with a certain circumstance?
But you will see the victory; it will not be by chance!
And even if the snow-drift is far above your roof,
Your joy will be the evidence, that it’s the living proof!
There may be many hardships and many different trials.
Just celebrate in Jesus and break out in a smile.
Be confident in Jesus and celebrate His peace;
Know that in reality, the trial will surely cease.
Trust in Him completely and see how things will change.
Everything He promised is right within your range.
You have been adopted as a son of God Most High.
He has guaranteed it; the trial will soon pass by.
Perhaps you cannot see Him. But what is that to you?
You know that all His promises are absolutely true.
He’s blessed you with the privilege of being on His side.
You’ll never be a bridesmaid. Not while you are His bride!
So put aside your doubting. It cannot do you good.
Carry on rejoicing, the way you know you should.
Love Him without limit, with all your heart and soul.
Rejoice in Him forever and He’ll achieve your goal.
