COUNT IT ALL JOY

Intro: (Set to music)

Count it all joy, Count it all joy,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

Count it all joy, Count it all joy,

When you face frequent tribulations.

Verse 1:

When you feel very sad, And what’s happening is bad,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

When your enemies throng, And they do you great wrong,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy, 

When you face frequent tribulations.

Verse 2:

When you have enough pain, to be driven insane,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

When no help has arrived, and it seems you’re deprived,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy,

When you face frequent tribulations.

Verse 3:

When your life becomes tough, and the going gets rough,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

Stay safe in God’s grace, and keep walking by faith,

And Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

Yes, Count it all joy. Yes, Count it all joy,

When you face frequent tribulations.

Verse 4:

When you’re tested for faults, make sure patience results,

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

As you character build, with God’s Spirit be filled, 

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy.

Count it all joy, Oh Count it all joy,

When you face frequent tribulations.

POET - as per Rictameter Request

Poet
Do not blow it
When you turn your poem
Into sublime inspiration
Richly adorned with glittering gems
And sparkling literary stars
Rather simply show it
If you are a
Poet.

Definition:
"Rictameter is a scheme similar to Cinquain. Starting your first line with a two syllable word, you then consecutively increase the number of syllables per line by two. i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Then down again, 8, 6, 4, 2 Making the final line the same two syllable word you began with."
