An original hymn with text by Mark Fotheringham below.  Watch on YouTube: A Day to Rejoice

This is a day to rejoice in gladness.

This is a day to forget all sadness.

This is a day to confess your blessing,

This day the truth will replace guessing.

This is the day you accept the gospel.

This day a new song you'll sing.

For the life of The Son, you will raise your voice.

..This is a day to rejoice.

Wait for the day when, all sins forgiven,

Evil desires from your soul are driven.

Wait for the day when His love enfolds you,

Captures your heart as His hands hold you.

Wait for the day to be washed in glory,

Singing aloud all your praise.

For to know such a day you have ever dreamed.

..Wait for the day you're redeemed.

Dream of the day when the earth rejoices,

Hearing the choirs of angel voices.

Dream of the day He descends in glory

Come to fulfill prophecy's story.

Dream of the day He accepts His Kingdom,

Dream of the song you will sing.

All the wheat gathered in while the tares He burns.

..Dream of the day He returns.

Blessed the day when the lamb and lion

Gambol and play all the day in Zion.

Blessed the day peace and plenty foster

Lives where the meekest of all prosper.

Blessed the day when you rest from labor,

Blessing the world with your song,

Where the children are all taught to love His Word.

..Blessed the day of the Lord.
