1
I will sing for the Lord
And live all my days for Him.
I will celebrate God's glory
And praise His loving kindness.
2
A burdened, discouraged heart
Is not the mark of God's Spirit.
Those who are truly anointed
Can rejoice at all times.
3
He has made me worthy
To fall before God and praise Him with my harp.
Through the blood of Jesus,
He has made me fit to come into His presence.
4
Listen to the angels singing
In the fields of Bethlehem.
Look upon the Father's gift
And join in their song.
5
A beautiful kingdom is mine,
A land flowing with milk and honey.
Christ's loving heart is my dwelling place,
Filled with comfort and peace.
6
I will sing with joy
When my whole heart is overflowing with gladness.
I will also sing
When He tests me through the fire.
7
Even if the fig tree withers
And the vine produces no grapes,
Even if nothing grows or bears fruit,
I will still rejoice in the Lord.
8
I am blessed because my treasure
Is stored up in heaven.
Why should I remain sorrowful
Because of the troubles of this world?
9
The joy that comes from God
Is the strength of those who trust in Him.
Let us cast far away
Every distress that makes us lose hope.
10
Hallelujah to God!
Hallelujah to the Son!
Hallelujah to the Holy Spirit—
Today and forevermore!
