Rejoice In The Lord

D         Bm            Em       
God never moves without purpose 
  A7
or plan
D               Bm          E   
When trying His servant and 
      A7
molding a man.
D                  Bm            
Give thanks to the Lord though 
   Em            A7
your testing seems long;
    G          A7       D
In darkness He giveth a song.


[Chorus]
  D              Bm
O Rejoice in the Lord
   Em       A7
He makes no mistake,
   D           Gm          Em    
He knoweth the end of each path 
      A7
that I take,
    Bm        F#m
For when I am tried
    G         Gm
And purified,
D            A7       D
I shall come forth as gold.


Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
D               Bm          Em  
I could not see through the 
    A7
shadows ahead;
D                  Bm       
So I looked at the Cross of my 
   E      A7
Savior instead.
D              Bm          Em   
I bowed to the will of the 
       A7
Master that day;
     G              A7         D
Then peace came and tears fled away.


[Chorus]
    D            Bm
O Rejoice in the Lord
   Em       A7
He makes no mistake,
   D           Gm          Em    
He knoweth the end of each path 
      A7
that I take,
    Bm        F#m
For when I am tried
   G         Gm
And purified,
D            A7       D
I shall come forth as gold.


[Verse 3]
D         Bm          Em         
Now I can see testing comes from 
A7
above;
D                   Bm           
God strengthens His children and 
E         A7
purges in love.
D               Bm          Em  
My Father knows best, and I 
            A7
trust in His care;
        G            A7           
Through purging more fruit I will 
D
bear.


[Chorus]
  D              Bm
O Rejoice in the Lord
   Em       A7
He makes no mistake,
   D           Gm          Em    
He knoweth the end of each path 
      A7
that I take,
    Bm        F#m
For when I am tried
   G         Gm
And purified,
D            A7       D
I shall come forth as gold.
