Rejoice

Experimental Writing: Found Poem 
“Rejoice (Count it All Joy) ” - Inspired by Philippians 2:12-18  
Verse 1
Oh my brothers and my sisters in the spirit of the Lord
In His presence or His absence we’re still called as His own
Our Salvation is at work and our time is at hand
Will we step up or be left out when Jesus comes again?    
Chorus
    Rejoice! 
For the Holy Spirit and His presence are moving throughout the land
    Count it all joy, 
In the same manner that the Savior freely offered as a sacrifice in our stead
Be the light unto a world of darkness that all your efforts not be in vain
Keep the service, keep the faith, steadfastly watch and pray
Rejoice and count it joy today!



Verse 2
    I pray that on this journey we all hold fast to this theme
    It is God who works within you through His will and His being
    For His good pleasure and His measure in all that’s said and heard
    Do all things without blemish through the glory of His word
Chorus
Rejoice! 
For the Holy Spirit and His presence are moving throughout the land
    Count it all joy, 
In the same manner that the Savior freely offered as a sacrifice in our stead
Be the light unto a world of darkness that all your efforts not be in vain
Keep the service, keep the faith, steadfastly watch and pray
Rejoice and count it joy today!

Tag:
