Lyrics
Verse 1
Let the weak look to their brother
Lean on a shoulder when they can't stand
No shame in needing one another
Reach out and take hold of a healing hand
Chorus
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
Sinners, strangers, we're welcomed in
Lift up your hands, lift up your voice
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend, yes
Verse 2
Let the strong carry their neighbor
Bind up the wounded and wash their feet
Open your door, and set your table
The place of honor for the least of these
Chorus
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
Sinners, strangers, we're welcomed in
Lift up your hands, lift up your voice
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend
Bridge
(Let's try this)
Make us one, hold us together
Make us one
Make us one, hold us together
Make us one
(Can we pray that together tonight?)
Make us one, hold us together
Make us one
Make us one, hold us together
Make us one
Chorus
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
Oh, lift up your hands, lift up your voice
Rejoice, again I say rejoice
Sinners, strangers, we're welcomed in
Lift up your hands, lift up your voice
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend
Sing with all your heart, He calls you friend

Woo!

Meaning & Inspiration
Sing With All Your Heart presents Christian community as a place where weakness is met with practical care rather than shame. Images of leaning on a brother, carrying a neighbor, binding wounds, washing feet, opening doors, and setting a table give fellowship a concrete shape. The welcome extends to sinners and strangers, while the least receive honor. Its repeated call to rejoice joins praise with hospitality, suggesting that worship and care for others belong together.
The song’s prayer to be made one gathers these scenes into a plea for unity. Its language closely echoes biblical commands to rejoice, bear one another’s burdens, and serve “the least of these.” The declaration that Christ calls people friends also recalls his words to the disciples. Together, those ideas portray grace as both belonging and responsibility: those welcomed by Christ become a community that supports the weak, receives the outsider, and sings with gratitude.
