“Rejoice” by The Slower I Go turns the familiar language of Psalm 118:24 into a bright contemporary worship single featuring Noah Priebe.
The song treats joy less like a passing emotion and more like a deliberate response. Its central refrain draws from the declaration, “This is the day that the Lord has made.” That puts the track firmly in the long tradition of worship songs that turn Scripture into something meant to be sung together.
“Rejoice” pairs that familiar foundation with polished pop production, rising melodies and a chorus designed for immediate participation. The lyrics encourage listeners to loosen their grip on anxiety, regret and the assorted luggage people insist on carrying long after the trip has ended.
The result is upbeat without pretending difficult circumstances disappear. Instead, the song points toward joy as a response rooted in God’s faithfulness rather than whatever happens to be going well that day.
Scripture at the Center
That approach fits the larger identity of The Slower I Go. The worship collective includes Priebe, Brooklyn Summer, Dacey Lane and Logan York. The group grew out of friendship, shared songwriting and informal worship sessions before developing into a recording project centered on Scripture-driven songs.
The collective has gradually introduced that sound through singles including “All or Nothing,” “What Kind of Friend?” and “All Eyes on You.” More recently, The Slower I Go collaborated with Zane Walls on “SHOCK!”
Across those releases, the group has paired modern worship production with lyrics intended to move listeners back toward Scripture rather than simply chase a particular sound. “Rejoice” continues that direction while leaning further into bright pop melodies and an immediately singable refrain.
There is nothing particularly complicated about its central idea, which is partly the point. Psalm 118:24 has supplied churches with language for joy for generations. “Rejoice” gives that familiar declaration another musical setting and asks listeners to sing it again.
“Rejoice” by The Slower I Go featuring Noah Priebe is available now on major streaming platforms through NRT Music.
