Rejoice - Shirley Caesar

Rejoice, rejoice God’s ears are stitches

Rejoice, His eyes are big X’s

Rejoice, His arms are burning witches

Rejoice, His hands perform hexes

Rejoice despite the fact this world will hurt you

Rejoice despite the fact this world will kill you

Rejoice despite the fact this world will tear you to shreds

Rejoice because you’re trying your best

Rejoice, the bed you sleep in is burning

Rejoice, the sky’s fucking falling

Rejoice, the world we know is turning

Rejoice, your father’s been calling

Rejoice although this world will devastate you

Rejoice although this world will penetrate you

Rejoice although you will not survive

Rejoice you’ll never make it out alive

Rejoice, your hair it smells like burning hair

Oh rejoice, your nails all got chewed off

Rejoice, and — holy fuck!

— you're bleeding there

Oh rejoice, you burned your whole beard off

Rejoice despite the fact this world will hurt you

Rejoice despite the fact this world will kill you

Rejoice despite the fact this world will tear you to shreds

Rejoice because you’re trying your best
