[Verse 1 – Gentle, almost whispered] Blessed are you when the arrows fly, When the righteous road feels like a lie. They mock your name, they twist your truth, But the Kingdom’s yours—eternal youth. [Pre-Chorus – Building tension] They insult, they curse, they speak the lie, Because you bear the mark of the Crucified. Falsely accused, like the prophets of old, Yet your name is written in letters of gold. [Chorus – Rising, triumphant, with swelling choir] Rejoice! Be glad! Lift your eyes to the sky! Great is your reward when the stones start to fly! In the same way they hunted the faithful before, The Lion will gather you—forevermore! Blessed are you… blessed are you… In the fire, in the scorn, His promise is true. [Verse 2 – Deeper, more resolute] They hate the light that burns in your chest, The righteousness they can’t possess. They shut the doors, they turn away, But Heaven’s gates swing wide today. [Bridge – Spoken-sung, intimate, then exploding] Remember the prophets—Elijah in the cave, Jeremiah weeping, Isaiah in the grave. They were hated, hunted, torn apart, Yet they carried the fire in their heart. And you… you carry it too. The same Spirit that raised Him lives in you. [Final Chorus – Full, victorious, with gospel harmonies and a soaring belt] Rejoice! Be glad! Let the tears be your praise! Great is your reward—through the darkest of days! They persecuted the prophets, they’ll persecute you, But the Kingdom is yours—unshakable, true! Blessed are you… blessed are you… When they come for the Bride, the Bridegroom comes too! [Outro – Soft, fading into hope, single vocal over gentle piano] So stand in the storm, my love, stand in the flame… They can’t take the glory that carries His name. Rejoice… be glad… Your reward is great. And the King is coming soon. He’s coming soon.
