Circumstantial Joy
Joy does not depend on circumstance nor tribulation
For it's in the Lord we dance in so filled with elation
With each little sacrifice, and every trial along the way
Such a greater Price did Our Lord Jesus have to pay
Divine in Being, He became man to die for our sake
In what many aren't seeing so many not being awake
Just as He had said the narrow and the very wide gate
For so many are already dead in not realizing this fate
For true Joy is different than anything else you know
As it is Heaven sent and has to do with what you sow
Not to any charity for the Lord doesn't need your dough
But in Him it will be that this Joy you will come to know
Sunshine or rain, the brightest and darkest of seasons
Happiness, pain and there are a million more reasons
But it doesn't depend on circumstance nor tribulation
For it's in the Lord we dance in so filled with elation
Psalms 37:4
Delight thyself also in the LORD;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
