Count It All Joy; James 1:2-3

(stop at end of song)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When temptations come, and I’m bowed down so low;

when my doubts arise and I’m tossed to and fro,

~

I’ll count it all joy, stand firm in the faith.

I’ll look to the Lord for a way of escape.

He gives me wisdom and strength to obey,

when I count it all joy, and patiently wait.

~

When the world says come, and my flesh is enticed;

when I’m drawn away by the sins of this life,

~

I’ll count it all joy, stand firm in the faith.

I’ll look to the Lord for a way of escape.

He gives me wisdom and strength to obey,

when I count it all joy, and patiently wait.

~

When I face attacks for my faith in the Lord,

then I think of Jesus and how he was scorned.

~

I’ll count it all joy, stand firm in the faith.

I’ll look to the Lord for a way of escape.

He gives me wisdom and strength to obey,

when I count it all joy, and patiently wait.

~

When I trust my Lord every step that I take,

then he gives me grace for each trial I face.

~

I’ll count it all joy, stand firm in the faith.

I’ll look to the Lord for a way of escape.

He gives me wisdom and strength to obey,

when I count it all joy, and patiently wait.

~

Count it all joy!

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

1 Corinthians 16;13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

1 Corinthians 10:13 There is no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
