Lyrics
By Ron Hamilton
[Key: B]
Verse 1
God never moves without
Purpose or plan
When trying His servant
And molding a man.
Give thanks to the Lord
Though your testing seems long;
In darkness He giveth a song.
Chorus
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end
Of each path that I take,
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.
Verse 2
I could not see through
The shadows ahead;
So I looked at the cross
Of my Savior instead.
I bowed to the will
Of the Master that day;
Then peace came and
Tears fled away.
Chorus
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end
Of each path that I take,
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.
Verse 3
Now I can see testing
Comes from above;
God strengthens His children
And purges in love.
My Father knows best,
And I trust in His care;
Through purging
More fruit I will bear.
Chorus
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end
Of each path that I take,
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.
