This is the first time that I have used Band in a Box to demo one of my original songs.
It is a Praise/Worship song called “ Rejoice!”.
This demo is meant to show how the song might sound with a guitar oriented church praise team.

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:

The warm golden sunrise
Painting its light across the sky
The sweet smell of springtime
Colors so bright they come alive

CHORUS:

All of creation
Every nation shouts out loud

This is the day that the Lord has made
Let us rejoice
Lift up your voice
Let us rejoice

This is the day that the Lord has made
Let us rejoice
Lift up your voice
Let us rejoice and be glad
Rejoice and be glad
Rejoice and be glad in it.


VERSE 2:

Today's a new dawning
Bursting with life and hope so strong
This glorious morning
After the night, a brand new song

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Today is the only day
That will ever be today
So whatever comes my way
I will praise!!

VERSE 3:

Maybe tomorrow
Will bring pain and heartache to my soul
In Joys or in sorrows
I know that my God is in control


CHORUS
