I will always rejoice in my Lord,
The Lord above all lords,
Because the burden of my sin has been taken away.
1
From eternity, God saw me
And offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross.
He rescued me from the power of death.
I will loudly sing songs of salvation
And serve at His holy feet every day.
2
My only boast will always be in the cross of my Savior.
The praise and honor this world offers
I will consider worthless.
I will walk with my Lord along the path of the cross,
Always listening to His Word and following Him.
3
Even if my friends slander me and turn against me,
I will remain peaceful and rest close
To the heart of Jesus, my loving Lord.
My sorrows will disappear, my tears will be wiped away,
And I will live each day with peace and joy.
4
Until my days on earth are finished,
I will joyfully serve at my Lord's precious feet.
Then I will enter the presence of Jesus,
Where I will praise Him and worship Him forever.
