Rejoice in the Lord,
not only in sunlight,
but in the quiet places
where hope grows slowly
and faith learns to breathe.

Rejoice in the Lord,
not because life is easy,
but because His presence
never leaves,
never fades,
never fails.

Rejoice in the Lord,
for joy is not a feeling,
but a flame He tends
within the heart
that trusts Him.

Rejoice in the Lord always.
Again, He whispers it,
rejoice,
for every moment held in Him
is a moment filled with grace.
