I wrote it when a friend was discouraged. It's a choral piece. Unfortunately, I had no male voices so you'll have to imagine men singing the bass parts...
Lyrics
REJOICE
Are you hurting? Are you crying? Do you think that you just can’t give anymore?
Are you weary, tired of trying? Do you wonder what this pain can all be for? OH---
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.
Comforted
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit, inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness
Righteousness
For they shall be filled
They shall be filled
Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God
They shall see God, allelu, allelu
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake
Righteousness
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you
And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your
Reward in heaven, rejoice oh rejoice
Great is your reward. Great is your reward. Great is your reward.
Oh rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice and be exceeding
Rejoice and be exceeding
Rejoice and be exceeding glad
REJOICE!
