One Joyful Voice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thank You for the quiet bay,

The sky so blue and clear,

The single bird singing a song

That filled the world with cheer.

 

I set aside my daily chores

And rested in that joy.

It felt as if You’d sent a gift

You knew I would enjoy.

 

I felt the world lift off of me

As that bird’s joy crept in.

I suddenly felt my own joy

Begin to sing within.

 

How wondrous is the Grace of God,

To use such a small thing

As one bird’s simple song of joy

To remind me to sing!

 

Psalm 98:4

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
