Matt Maher's 'I Rejoice' is a worship song that celebrates the security and joy found in God's presence. The lyrics speak of being covered under God's shadow, referencing both His wings and the cross, where Jesus bore the cost and defeated death. The song rejoices in God's love, which is depicted as a wedding feast, and in the believer's identity as sons and daughters through Christ's body and blood. It is a simple, repetitive declaration of joy and gratitude for salvation and God's protective care.

Underneath the shadow
Underneath the shadow
Underneath the shadow of Your wings
Lord and King
You cover me
I rejoice, I rejoice
I rejoice, I rejoice
In You, in You
I rejoice in You
In You, in You
I rejoice in You
Underneath the shadow
Underneath the shadow
Underneath the shadow of the cross
You bore the cost and death has lost
I rejoice, I rejoice
I rejoice, I rejoice
In You, in You
I rejoice in You
In You, in You
I rejoice in You
Arms spread out like eagle's wings
As love lays out a wedding feast
Your body and Your blood
And now we have become
Your sons and Your daughters
In You, in You
I rejoice in You
In You, in You
I rejoice in You
