Rejoice Songtext
von Jerome Olds

Last night I saw a stranger in the garden
Down where the rocks meet the olive trees
He had a small band of men
And as I stood there on the sand
I knew I was watching a part of history

He said, Stay here while I walk with My Father
A voice so full of peace, it spoke to me
He said, Take this cup from My lips
As He kneeled to pray
I knew I had heard the Savior softly say


Rejoice, rejoice
Your will and not My own
Break My heart
Don′t let it turn to stone
Rejoice, rejoice
Your will and not My own
Break My heart
Don't let it turn to stone
Don′t let it turn to stone
Don't let Me turn to stone

A crowd of men showed up just before daybreak
They said, Jesus, you must go peacefully
He said, I'll go with you today
But there′ll come a time
When the whole world will gladly and willingly say

Rejoice, rejoice
Your will and not my own
Break my heart
Don′t let it turn to stone
Rejoice, rejoice
Your will and not my own
Break my heart
Don't let it turn to stone
Don′t let it turn to stone
Don't let me turn to stone


They marched Him up Calvary
Nailed the Savior to a tree
Now I understand
Why He died
Died to save you and me

Rejoice, rejoice
Your will and not my own
Break my heart
Don′t let it turn to stone
Rejoice, rejoice
Your will and not my own
Break my heart
Don't let it turn to stone
Don′t let it turn to stone

No, no, no
Tell me children
Jesus saved my life today
Came in and showed the way
Again and again I want to say
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
All my days
All my days
Are filled with the love of Christ
They're filled with the love of Christ
