Chords for Ron Hamilton - Rejoice In The Lord

[C] step at a time.
Well, [F] I wanted to write a song [G] to tell others how [C] good God had been.
So, [Am] a couple days after I got out of the hospital,
[F] I opened my Bible to the book of Philippians
and began to weave together this song
to tell what God had [C] done in our lives.
And we call this song, [F] Rejoice in the [G] Lord.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ God [Am] never moves without [F]
purpose [C] or plan
[G] [Em] When [Am] trying His servant and [Dm] _ molding a [G] man
[Em] Give thanks to [A] the Lord, though [Dm] your testing [C] seems [G] long
[F] In darkness He [A] giveth [C] a _ song
O rejoice in the [Am] Lord, [Dm] He [G] makes no mistake
[C] He _ [Am] knoweth the end of each [Dm] path [G] that I take
[Am] For when I am [Em]
tried [F] and _ _ [D] purified _ _
[C] I shall come [G] forth [F] as [C] gold
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
I _ [Dm] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
could not see through [F] the shadows _ [E]
ahead
[Am] So I looked at the cross of my [Dm] Savior _ [A] instead
[E] _ _ [Gbm] _ [Abm]
[Am] I bowed [Em] to the will [F] of the Master that [D] day
_ _ [G] Then [C] peace came and [G] tears [C] fled away _
[Ab] _ [Ebm] [Db] Now _ [Fm] I can see [Ebm] testing comes from [Gb] above
_ [Fm] God strengthens His [Bbm] children [Ebm] and purges in [Ab] love
[Fm] My Father [Bb] knows best [Ebm] and I trust in His [Ab] care
[Bbm] Through [Ebm] purging [Ab] more fruit I [Db] will _ [A] bear _
_ _ [D] O rejoice _ in [Bm] the Lord, [G] He _ makes [A] no mistake
_ [D] He _ [Bm] knoweth the end [E] of each [Em] _ path [Gb] that I _ _ _ _ _ take
[Bm] For when [Gbm] I am tried [G] and _ _ _ [E] _ purified _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] [A] I [D] shall come [A] _ _ forth, _ [Bm] _ [Gb] I [Bm] shall [A] come _ _ [E] _ forth _
[D] _ _ I [Bm] _ shall come [A] _ forth _ _ _ _ _
