Got an alto with soul? This is your piece! Written for fellow composer, Patti Drennan, Craig Curry has penned this exciting and energetic gospel piece to get your choir (and congregation) up and moving. There are lots of opportunities for the soloist to ad lib. The text speaks of turning sorrow to joy and of the healing power of God. The congregation will be on their feet and the joy will really overflow! Count It All Joy is a marvelous spiritual experience!
Horn parts are available here. (alto/tenor saxes, 2 tots, 2 tbns)
Performance by the Azusa Pacific University Choir and Orchestra, posted on YouTube.
I know you've had some trouble in this life
I know sometimes the road gets so long
But I know our God is walking right with you
Yes He is
And He'll give you all the strength
Oh yes, He'll give you all the strength
He'll give you all the strength you need to carry on.
So--
Count it all joy when you're faced with trials
Count it all joy when you're faced with pain
Count it all joy and a stronger faith will remain
Count it all joy for this present suffering
Can't be compared with the joy to come
In all these things we are more than conquerors
So count it, count it all joy.
Let us look to Jesus (oh yes) the Author of our faith (for joy)
Who for the sake of the joy set before Him endured the cross (despising its shame)
So let us not grow weary in the face of discipline (beloved children)
Our Father is training us how to win!
(chorus)
Count it! (We know that all things work together)
Count it! (for the good of those who love God)
Count it! (Nothing can ever separate us)
Count it! (From God's mighty love in Jesus)
Count it! (Neither life, nor death, nor angels)
Count it! (Things present or things to come)
Count it all joy when you're faced with trials
Count it all joy when you're faced with pain
Count it all joy and a stronger faith will remain (watch your faith grow stronger!)
Count it all joy for this present suffering
Can't be compared with the joy to come
In all these things we are more than conquerors
So count it, count it all joy, nothing but joy!
Count it! (Oh glory, hallelujah)
Count it! (The Lamb of God is worthy)
Count it! (O count on my Jesus)
Count it! (Yes, even in your sorrow)
Count it! (vocal ad-libs)
Count it all joy! (You can count it, won't you count it all)
Count it all joy!
