G       C  (2x)


[Verse 1]

           G
Come and stand before your Maker
         C
Full of wonder, full of fear
        G
Come behold His power and glory
          C
Yet with confidence draw near
        Em
For the one who holds the heavens
        D
And commands the stars above
        C
Is the God who bends to bless us
         D
With an unrelenting love


[Chorus 1]

   G               Em
Rejoice, come and lift your hands and
  C         G            Em             C
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise
   Em             C
Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
           Em    D      G      
And with trembling, rejoice


[Verse 2]

We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood
Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go


[Chorus]

Rejoice, come and lift your hands and
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise
Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice


[Verse 3]

All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still
Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed


[Chorus 2]

   G/B             C
Rejoice, when you cry to Him He hears
      G/B            C
Your voice, He will wipe away your tears
   Em            C
Rejoice, in the midst of suffering
         Em       D
He will help you sing


[Chorus 1]

Rejoice, come and lift your hands and
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise
Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
And with trembling rejoice
