Joy
Joy comes from giving
From a heart who listens
To the hope and feeling
Of grace that is given
By God’s gentle spirit
Joy comes from living
With a sense of caring
That comes from sharing
All the kindness you have
With those who need your prayers
Joy comes from knowing
The answers to all problems
Are found in God’s book
Where psalms and proverbs
Awaken hope, faith and love
Joy comes from appreciation
Of all that God has blessed you with
The faith, the hope, the love
That creates a purpose for you
To always find a way to give
Joy comes from accepting
All the sorrows, pains and failures
Giving a comforting word or deed
To remind someone they have the strength
To let go of the struggle and breath
Joy comes from the idea
That love is fiercer than hatred
It allows hearts to heal and feel
All the wonders of grace within
Where God allows us to know Him
Joy comes from knowing
The beauty of hope in the soul
Where we all should find the faith
To reach out, discover the grace
That it takes to praise Him today
Joy comes from the One
Who gave His only Son
To free our souls from a prison
Of doubt, dread and darkness
Freeing us to believe in eternity!
