Rejoice
Kensrue Dustin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come and stand before your Maker
Full of wonder, full of fear
Come behold His power and glory
Yet with confidence draw near

For the one who holds the heavens
And commands the stars above
Is the God who bends to bless us
With an unrelenting love

Rejoice, come and lift your hands and
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise
Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood

Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go

Rejoice, come and lift your hands and
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise
Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still

Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed

Rejoice, when you cry to Him He hears
Your voice, He will wipe away your tears
Rejoice, in the midst of suffering
He will help you sing

Rejoice, come and lift your hands and
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise




Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
And with trembling rejoice

I was an agnostic until the age of forty years old. Then , in 2005, I began to trust and love the Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope you come to that place, Callum, if not already there

I know this was 6 years ago, but I wanted to say that you are loved and accepted no matter what religion you choose or don’t choose. God will always be there for you, even if you don’t think he is. He’s the only entity that WILL ALWAYS have your back, WILL ALWAYS love you no matter how bad you mess up, and he cares deeply for you! I hope all is well with you and your family. Much love from a random 15 year old who cares about you even though I don’t know you... because that’s what Jesus teaches me to do! ❤️
