Lyrics
Verse 1
I made a choice, that I will rejoice always
Through the bright and sunny and through the cold days
When my prayers feel like echoes in the hallways
When I think I’m at the brink of returning to my old ways
You said I should always keep
Keep the faith up this long narrow lonely steep
When my days are nightmares and I can barely sleep
Coz anxiety demoted me to counting sheep
And when I feel like fear is taking over me
Slowly sinking and I’m not thinking soberly
Even in that very moment you order me
To give thanks and let faith get a hold of me
So I will stay on this route and plant through the drought
Even when I’m not sure what I’m praying about
When tears are the only prayers that come from my mouth
I’ll Pray and let my prayers plough through the doubt
Chorus
Rejoice always
Give thanks in all things
And pray pray pray always
‘Tis the will of God
In Christ the son
That we pray pray pray always
Verse 2
I made a choice, that I will rejoice always
Through the bright and sunny and through the cold days
When fear becomes a gourmet delivered to my doorways
And the meat in Egypt’s got me wishing on the old days
I will feed my soul gratitude
Instead I will pray more when I’m mad at you
And just hope to change my attitude and realize the magnitude
Of you being my safety net and my eternal parachute
Verse 3
And when the rain is through and the days are sunny
And when I have made it to the land of milk and honey
When I’ve believed and received all my promises
And finally meet and get to defeat all my Thomases
I’ll pray without ceasing in and out of season
When my faith is bleeding and blinding all my reason
Or when I am succeeding and this life seems pleasing
I’m anchored by the meaning of praying without ceasing
Bridge
We war not with
Our hands and fists
But with weaponry unseen
Strong in might and pow’r
For this very hour
We’ll find victory on our knees
Chorus
Rejoice always
Give thanks in all things
And pray pray pray always
‘Tis the will of God
In Christ the son
That we pray pray pray
Pray pray pray
That we pray pray pray always
