Rejoice in the LORD always, I will say it again: Rejoice Rejoice in the LORD always, I will say it again: Rejoice! –Philippians 4:4

Paul wrote about joy while in prison!

Happiness is to know the Saviour, Living a life within His favour, Having a change in my behaviour, Happiness is the Lord.

Happiness is to be forgiven, Living a life that's worth the livin', Taking a trip that leads to Heaven, Happiness is the Lord.

No matter if the teardrops start, I've found the secret, Happiness is…. Real joy is mine, No matter if the teardrops start, I've found the secret, It's Jesus in my heart, (Hallelujah)

Happiness is to be forgiven, Living a life that's worth the livin', Taking a trip that leads to Heaven, Happiness is the Lord, Happiness is the Lord.

The Joy of the Lord is my strength Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength

He gives me living water and I thirst no more The joy of the LORD is my strength He gives me living water and I thirst no more

He fills my mouth with laughter, ha ha ha ha ha The joy of the LORD is my strength He fills my mouth with laughter, ha ha ha ha ha He fills my mouth with laughter, ha ha ha ha ha!

This is the Day This is the day, this is the day That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made I will rejoice, I will rejoice And be glad in it, and be glad in it This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice, and be glad in it That the Lord has made

And I thank you, Lord, for the trials that come my way And I thank you, Lord, for the trials that come my way. In that way I can grow each day as I let you lead, And I thank you, Lord, for the patience those trials bring. In that process of growing, I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way I am To put my human nature down And let the Spirit take control of all I do. 'Cause when those trials come, My human nature shouts the thing to do; and God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

But I thank you, Lord, with each trial I feel inside, that you're there to help, lead and guide Me away from wrong. 'Cause you promised, Lord, That with each trial and testing, That your way of escaping is easier to bear.

But it goes against the way I am To put my human nature down And let the Spirit take control of all I do. 'Cause when those trials come, My human nature shouts the thing to do; and God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love

Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King

Take my silver and my gold Not a mite would I withhold Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise

Take my will, and make it Thine It shall be no longer mine Take my heart, it is Thine own It shall be Thy royal throne

To God be the glory, great things he hath done! So loved he the world that he gave us his Son, who yielded his life an atonement for sin, and opened the lifegate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear his voice! let the people rejoice! O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, and give him the glory, great things he hath done!

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, to every believer the promise of God; the vilest offender who truly believes, that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear his voice! let the people rejoice! O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son, and give him the glory, great things he hath done!

Your service to the Lord! What gets better with age? Wine and violin What gets sweeter with time? Your service to the Lord!

Since I started for the Kingdom, Since my life He controls, Since I gave my heart to Jesus, The longer I serve Him, The sweeter He grows.

Chorus The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows, The more that I love Him, more love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.

Ev'ry need He is supplying, Plenteous grace He bestows; Ev'ry day my way gets brighter, The longer I serve Him, The sweeter He grows.

Chorus The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows, The more that I love Him, more love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
