To Dance With Joy

 

Tonight, I seek the joy and peace
That rest within Your Word.
The world has spoken, all day long,
And noise is all I’ve heard.
 
The busy rush of everyday
Can weigh upon my heart
Until I feel the stress born tears
Slowly begin to start.
 
That is my clue to just step back
And rest upon the rock.
Read Your words of hope, peace, and joy,
In which my soul takes stock.
 
I read the wisdom of prophets,
The insights of old kings.
I speak the words You spoke to us
And feel the hope it brings.
 
The world begins to fall away
When I focus on You
And listen with heart, mind and soul,
As You taught me to do.
 
Then, as the world grows to silence,
I feel the joy unlock
Until Your hope, Your peace fill me.
I dance, Lord, on The Rock!  
 
Romans 15:12-13
And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
