I Rejoice
Rejoicing in the Shelter of Divine Love
Lyrics
Underneath the shadow
Seeking refuge and protection
Underneath the shadow
Continuing to seek refuge and protection
Underneath the shadow of Your wings
Seeking shelter under the care and guidance of the divine
Lord and King
Recognizing the divine as both a Lord and King
You cover me
Experiencing the divine covering and protecting
I rejoice, I rejoice
Expressing joy in the divine
I rejoice, I rejoice
Reiterating the joyous feeling
In You, In You
Finding joy in the divine presence
I rejoice in You
Finding joy specifically in the divine
Underneath the shadow
Continuing to seek refuge and protection
Underneath the shadow
-Underneath the shadow of the cross
Seeking shelter under the divine sacrifice symbolized by the cross
You bore the cost and death has lost
Acknowledging the price paid on the cross, overcoming death
Arms spread out like eagle's wings
Symbolizing a protective and embracing gesture
As love lays out a wedding feast
Depicting love as a joyful celebration
Your body and Your blood
Referring to the sacramental significance of the body and blood
And now we have become
Identifying with the divine as sons and daughters
Your sons and Your daughters
Emphasizing the relationship with the divine as familial
