Rejoice in the Lord, my brothers, my friends, No trouble to say it again
Beware of those who deceive and lie, We serve by the Spirit Christ our pride
I press on the wall of the heavenly door, Leaving behind what I once held so close
My confidence is in Christ alone, Our citizenship is in heaven our home
Circumcised and faultless in the law, But now those gains I count as loss
For the sake of Christ I leave it all, Faith in Him makes me stand tall
I press on the wall of the heavenly door, Leaving behind what I once held so close
My confidence is in Christ alone, Our citizenship is in heaven our home
To know His power shed in His pain, In resurrection I'll rise again
Not that I've reached it, but still I strive, Christ is my price, my reason to thrive
I press on the wall of the heavenly door, Leaving behind what I once held so close
