Lyrics:
This is the day the Lord has made
Rejoice and be glad in the day God has made.
Rejoice! Be glad! Rejoice!
Look at the flowers of the field
Look at the birds in the sky
They do not live fearing tomorrow
God cares for them.
God cares for you.
God loves you.
All shall be well and all shall be well, all manner of things shall be well.
This is the day the Lord has made
Rejoice and be glad in the day God has made.
Rejoice! Be glad! Rejoice!
