Rejoice When They Lie (Remix)
From the album ·The Beatitudes Jam — The Remixes
📖 Matthew 5:11-12; Isaiah 54:17
They talked about the prophets too. The instruction is not to endure it — it is to rejoice, which is harder and a lot more fun on a disco record. The floor mix — same blessing, extended for the room.

Lyrics
[Intro] (filtered gospel-disco sample begins muffled and low-passed, vinyl crackle, tape wobble, soft Rhodes loop, four-on-the-floor kick fading in, distant choir fragment repeating “rejoice,” mono-leaning) Blessed are ye When men shall revile you And persecute you They twisted what you said Then passed it through the crowd Turned a quiet conversation Into something ugly and loud [Build] (filter slowly opens, chopped choir vowels begin looping, warm bass locks with the kick, claps enter on two and four, disco strings rise in short stabs, tension building) They made a version of you That you never even knew Added pieces to the story Till the lie looked almost true Do not chase every rumor Do not beg to clear your name Truth does not need panic And God still sees the frame [Groove] (full drop — bright gospel-disco groove, chopped choir call-and-response, warm bass, crisp hats, tight claps, bouncing Rhodes, offbeat strings, sidechain pumping) Rejoice when they lie Do not let it break you Rejoice when they lie Truth will overtake you Rejoice when they lie Keep walking in the light Great is your reward When you stand and do what’s right They talked You prayed They posted You stayed Rejoice and be exceeding glad Your reward is on the way [Bridge] (filter closes, drums disappear, one choir fragment repeats “falsely,” Rhodes sustains, vinyl crackle grows louder, bass hums underneath, reversed strings rise slowly) When they say all manner of evil Against you falsely For my sake Do not return slander Do not answer hate with hate A lie may run ahead of truth But truth will meet it at the gate No weapon formed against thee Shall prosper And every tongue that shall rise Against thee in judgment Thou shalt condemn [Peak] (everything returns fullest — stacked choir chops, brighter strings, punchy kick, warm bass, tambourine, handclaps, brass accents, wide harmonies, heavier tape saturation, euphoric dance-floor release) Rejoice when they lie Do not let it break you Rejoice when they lie Truth will overtake you Rejoice when they lie Keep walking in the light Great is your reward When you stand and do what’s right No angry reply No public revenge No sinking to the level Of the ones who did offend Blessed are ye When men speak falsely Rejoice and be glad Great is your reward [Outro] (filter slowly closes, hats fade first, claps disappear, kick drops last, choir chops dissolve into long reverb tails, bass and Rhodes decay beneath vinyl crackle) Rejoice when they lie Truth will still survive Rejoice and be glad Great is your reward
