Rejoice you daughters of Zion,

With joys unto Jerusalem;

Shouting like a roaring lion,

Gladness at the highest spectrum.

Your King will be coming to you,

As legit and victorious;

With humbled wisdom that is true,

That is shining so glorious.

I will be removing the tanks,

And taking away the warhorse;

Announcing peace to all the ranks,

In our lives for changing course.

For His dominion that will be,

Extends to the ends of the earth;

And from sea unto shining sea,

Giving the people a new birth.

Through His blood making us secured,

Within a new relationship;

In a covenant and assured,

Giving a new companionship.

Return unto fastness of hope,

And I declare He will return;

So, you must continue to cope,

For the salvation that you earn.

The Lord will be returning double,

Of all that was taken from you;

Having the amount of trouble,

In confusion that you construe.

The Lord will bend you as His bow,

Along with a shield and a sword;

And loading you with an arrow,

Aiming to be in one accord.

The Lord will finally appear,

The arrow will shoot like lightning;

A trumpet sounding you will hear,

For some it will be frightening.

As the southern whirlwinds will blow,

The Lord who rules all will guard them;

Being drunkards, they do not know,

He will destroy them to condemn.

The Lord will deliver His flock,

How precious and fair they will be;

Following Him where He will walk,

Feeling the love that comes from He.
