BACKSTORY Year 60 A.D.
Oh my goodness! Paul was in prison in Rome, but wrote Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. (Philippians 4:4)
He continued. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
UPDATE 1744 A.D.
Charles Wesley with his brother John started the Methodist movement, but they were persecuted and suffered lives of hardship. Charles wrote this song to encourage his followers. He wanted them to not get discouraged and lose hope, but to be a singing, joyful people.
