Finding Joy In the Lord -Psalm 16:11
In the Christian world there’s a word
that describes what should instil our soul
but so often those outside don’t see
because the enemy has it unfairly stole
There is a great need to know
the fullness of the believers joy
this is found only in God’s presence
so by abiding there must we employ
Learn to abide in your saviour’s love
reading His holy word divinely sweet
speaking and listening to your Lord
obeying His word bowing at His feet
Oh to know this abundant joy
fully and daily always and ever
this must be always our daily plea
to our father the enabling giver
May we know deep in our hearts
this very fullness over the brim
learning to enjoy our great God
diving downwards forever to swim
('You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.')
Psalms 16: 11 (ESV)
