Rejoice, the Lord is King

Just as my brother Isaac said in an earlier post, feeling anxious and in despair, we believers can only find relief in our Lord. This is Thanksgiving here in the states but I was not feeling to thankful, letting the living in the dark world get me down. But a sister sent me this hymn this morning and as I sang and meditated on the sweet words my heart was lifted! Thank You Lord Jesus!

I was feeling so down this morning. I was everything the Bible asked us not to be, worried, anxious and in despair. But I scanned through the scriptures to search for comfort. My spirit moved to Phil 4:6 but just I opened there, I chanced on the v4 and the hymn rang in my spirit so I decided to check the lyrics online again. Jesus is still Lord. Like Peter said, to whom shall we go?

It's simply a very beautiful song, I love it.

I was feeling rather anxious about something as I knelt and prayed this morning. And this song started singing in my head. I knew the chorus but not the whole lyrics. I searched through the internet to find the full song and the lyrics really comforted me. God truly speaks when we turn to Him. Thank you Jesus

I too was awakened early this morning to an unseen person singing the final line in the refrain:

Rejoice! Again I say, Rejoice!

Going through the lyrics, it is still the chorus that tugs at me.

Often, it is so hard to live in God's will. Maybe, just maybe, the singing voice of the dawn is my angel come to tell me that I've managed to obey God a little more🙂

A rousing hymn! Like others I woke with the text singing in my head, and couldn’t wait to find it on internet. Great tune and great text - great combination!

Rejoice again, I say rejoice. This is the song in my heart and on my lips as I woke up this morning for my devotion. I just had to Google it for the words. Beautiful wonderful song. It reminds me to rejoice as the Bible commands in 1 Thessalonians 5." Rejoice in the Lord always"

June 8/20 I also was woken up tonight with, "His Kingdom cannot fail ... lift up your heart, lift up your voice, again, I say rejoice".

So here I've googled the lyrics also. :)

What struck me is that this, in the Hebrew calendar, is the year of the voice - of the decree. We must awaken, rise up, & speak in faith, what He says. Take hold, apprehend our authority, and wield our Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. Blessings!

We use to sing this song in Yoruba in my Family when I was a child I know the lyrics

I was reminded yesterday during The RCCG online service with Pastor E. A. Adeboye.

The english version is as soul lifting.
I will learn this also.
Thank you My Lord and King.

Was awakened in my sleep to the words, "Rejoice, the Lord is King". I knew it was a hymn, so decided to google to see lyrics once again. Indeed, the Lord reigns in the heavens and the earth and His kingdom cannot fail. I will rejoice and be glad in the knowledge that He is King of all. Hallelujah!
