Do not rejoice

by Joel Howard

see Luke 10:20

Take your mind off the things of this world

Do not rejoice that the devils tremble

Take your mind off the productivity you gain

Do not rejoice at the fear from man

Take your mind and set it on

The glory you have waiting with God

Take your mind, O my son

Set it on forever with God

Grab not fleeting glances from people

Do not rejoice that the sick are healed

Walk not on water to advance yourself

Do not be happy when men follow you

Take your mind and set it on

The glory you have in your home with God

Take your mind, O my love

Set it on forever with God

Halleluiah! I'm going to heaven!

Halleluiah! I'm written there!

Halleluiah! Jesus loves me!

This is my theme, my story, my prayer

This is my theme, forever, my fear!

This is my dread, this I speak here
