Rejoice and Be Glad

Words and Music by Eric Gwin.

The Story Behind the Song

This song is probably some of the oldest music on the album. It is a composite of 2 songs that I wrote for Ariel back in 1990.

This song, like many of the others on this album, is a straightforward praise song. The big difference, however, is that this song pretty much tells the entire story of Christ, starting with his birth, on through his ministry, to his death and resurrection.

The Lyrics

Rejoice and be glad! A king is born!
Sing praises to the Lamb!
Rejoice and be glad, to us is born
The son of the great I AM
Rejoice and be glad! He has come to earth
To rid this world of evil
Rejoice and be glad! Our Lord has come
To live among his people

Rejoice and sing praise to the King!
Worthy is the Lamb!

Chorus: Glory to God for bringing his son to the world!
To the world!
Glory to God for bringing his son to the world!
To the world!
Proclaim Him to all the earth!
Proclaim Him to all the earth!

Rejoice and be glad! He will heal the sick
He will make the lame to walk
Rejoice and be glad! The deaf will hear
The mute will be made to talk
Rejoice and be glad! He'll save the lost
His love will be known by all men
Rejoice and be glad! He'll die on a cross
Giving his life for our sin

Rejoice and sing praise to the king!
Worthy is the Lamb!

Chorus

Rejoice and be glad! It all starts here
As this baby takes his first breath
Rejoice and be glad! He's the son of God
Who has come to conquer death

Chorus 2x
