Song of Joy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sound of joy rings through my world,

Windchimes and cheery birds

All seem to share the joyful thoughts

For which I have no words.

 

You led me through my crazy day

Then brought me home to rest

And gain the strength that I will need

To face tomorrow’s test.

 

I thank You for a place of peace,

A true blessing, no doubt,

For there are many in this world

Who have to do without.

 

I thank You that, with each day’s end,

I’m weary, but content

That I have walked closer to You,

Making the day well spent.

 

I thank You that You’ve called my name

And that I am Your child

Instead of who I used to be,

Lost, terrified and wild.

 

The song of joy born in my heart

Fills up the evening air

Until I hear my grateful praise

Resounding everywhere.

 

Psalm 98:4

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