Learn Again I Say Rejoice

To kick-off the new year, here is Israel Houghton and his new bride, Adrienne Bailon.

I hope this new year fills your heart with rejoicing in the goodness of God as you count your many blessings. Especially to be given the gift of music!

In 2004 Israel wrote this fantastic song and I remember our worship team playing it many times in 2005. I love his tenor voice and I know lots of worship leaders sing a set in the Key of E. Remember all the sharps while navigating through the chord chart.
