Rejoice in the Lord always,
Again I will say rejoice;
Throughout your nights and your days,
Sing out lifting up your voice.
Let your moderation known,
That the Lord will be at hand;
Your reasonableness tone,
For honoring His command.
Be not anxious about,
What the future will hold;
Never having any doubt,
Of all that you have been told.
Take everything in your prayer,
Supplicate with thanksgiving;
Unto God requests to share,
Helping you in your living.
Because of the peace of God,
Surpasses understanding;
Guarding you from being flawed,
What this place is demanding.
Let Christ guard your mind and heart,
To whatsoever is true;
Honorable from the start,
Pure and honest to do.
Whatever of good merit,
Worthy and commendable;
That is pleasing His Spirit,
To the Father laudable.
What you have learned and received,
All that you have seen and heard;
Practice as you have believed,
In the God of peace of His Word.
