A SONG…COUNT IT ALL JOY

(stanza)

Count it all joy, when your friends all forsake you

Count it all joy, when you stumble and fall

Count it all joy, when the world tries to break you

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(stanza)

Count it all joy, when your burdens seam heavy

Count it all joy, when you can’t see your way

Count it all joy, when darkness surrounds you

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(chorus)

For God”s still on the throne

And you are not alone

When things aren’t going right

Let Jesus be your light

On Him you can depend

He’ll be with you to the end

He will help you to stand tall

In spite of it all

(stanza)

Count it all joy, when your different from others

Count it all joy, when your back’s ‘gainst the wall

Count it all joy, you’ve no sisters or brothers

Count it all joy, in spite of it all

(stanza)

Count it all joy, you can speak to the mountain

Count it all joy, when it moves out your way

Count it all joy, when you drink from the fountain

Count it all joy, Jesus still lives today

(chorus)

(stanza)

Count it all joy, God is your Holy Father

Count it all joy, He won’t lead you astray

Count it all joy, all your worries and bothers

Count it all joy, He will take them away

(stanza)

Count it all joy, praise God the Father

Count it all joy, praise Christ His Son

Count it all joy, we have hope for tomorrow

Count it all joy, God is still number one

(chorus)

(fade out)

Count it all joy, praise God the Father

Count it all joy, praise His heavenly Son

Count it all joy, let us sing hallelujah

Count it all joy, in spite of it all
