Rejoice in the Lord

1.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.




 chorus:
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.

2.I could not see through the shadows ahead;
So I looked at the cross of my Saviour instead.
I bowed to the will of the Master that day;
Then peace came and tears fled away.

3.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.
