Darren Winfield - Rejoice in Trials: Heaven's Reward Lyrics

In the furnace of our trials in the alley of our woes
We find a joy not of this world one that brightly glows
Though the fires rage around and the night seems so long
In our trials we'll rejoice singing heaven's song
Rejoice in trials for heaven's reward awaits
Stand firm in faith as the eternal gate elates
Though the tears may fall and the heart may ache
Our joy is in the Lord in the path we undertake
Every hardship tells a story every pain has its place
In the tapestry of grace in the race of faith we face
For the momentary trials bring an everlasting weight
Of glory so profound at the heavenly estate
Rejoice in trials for heaven's reward awaits
Stand firm in faith as the eternal gate elates
Though the tears may fall and the heart may ache
Our joy is in the Lord in the path we undertake
Blessed are those who endure for their crown is sure
In the kingdom of heaven their place is secure
Let your heart be glad for in Christ you are clad
In robes of salvation no more to be sad
So lift your eyes to the hills from where comes your help
Rejoice in your trials for in Christ you are kelp
Your reward is not here but in heaven so dear
Press on dear saint with God have no fear
Rejoice in trials for heaven's reward awaits
Stand firm in faith as the eternal gate elates
Though the tears may fall and the heart may ache
Our joy is in the Lord in the path we undertake
In every trial in every tear let's rejoice without fear
For heaven's reward is drawing near
Blessed oh blessed are those who persevere
In Christ we're victorious let's give a cheer!
