rejoice and be happy when they revile you

just like the savior told us to do. rejoice and be glad when for his name's sake

they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. blessed are you who are persecuted too

for righteousness and the good that you do

if in the bread you put a little leaven

the kingdom is yours and it's the kingdom of heaven. rejoice and be happy when they revile you

just like the savior told us to do. rejoice and be glad when for his name's sake

they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. ye are the salt of the earth

if you're not salty

what are you worth?

rejoice and be ye exceedingly glad for great is the reward in heaven to be had

for the prophets they did persecute too

unjust though it was

they came way before you. rejoice and be happy when they revile you

just like the savior told us to do. rejoice and be glad when for his name's sake

they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. we are the salt of the earth

if we're not salty

what are we worth?

rejoice and be happy when they revile you

just like the savior told us to do. rejoice and be glad when for his name's sake

they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. rejoice and be happy when they revile you

just like the savior told us to do. rejoice and be glad when for his name's sake

they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.
