Rejoice Not Over Me, O My Enemy
Rejoice not over me, O my enemy - when I fall, I shall rise! When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light unto me. Micah 7, verse 8.
This song is Bible verse set to music, Micah 7:8, with:
- A piano arrangement in two keys for accompanying in Sunday School, and
- Lead sheets with chord symbols for guitar or piano. (I haven't finished these yet, but will try to get them up in a day or two.)
Here is page one of the piano accompaniment, in the key of F:
*Listen to a recording of Rejoice Not Over Me*
A cowboy song?
You may notice that this tune and setting have a distinctly western sound - even an American cowboy song sound!
That's okay; it is fun to sing and energetic, and kids often like this flavor of music.
The left hand uses a "boogie" pattern that drives it along.
Going into page two, the right hand jumps up an octave, while the left hand doubles the rhythmic pattern.
Please scroll down the page for the sheet music PDF links.
At the end of the song, the last two measures are repeated to allow room to sing the verse reference, and finally, the right hand jumps back down ("loco" - which could be said to mean "Go back to the original LOCATION of these notes").
Below are a couple of close-up looks at the music, in the key of G:
