Poem
We thank You, Lord, for granting us joy* midst our Bible meditation Communing with us gloriously during times of devotion Listening to our earnest prayer and plight’s intention Hearkening to us express heartfelt supplication… …Toward worship’s blissful divine fruition. We praise You, Lord, for granting us joy, directing our choices Bringing our will to Your sublime pleasure that blesses Pulling us away from miseries of torturous places Guiding us against wicked curses and offenses... …Toward discipleship’s eternal causes. We honor You, Lord, for granting us joy, empowering our faithfulness Nurturing our minds with Your counsel’s wisdom and truthfulness Propelling us to walk according to Your righteousness Instructing us through Your Word’s steadfastness… …Toward scriptural study's diligent effectiveness. We esteem You, Lord, for granting us joy, healing our sin-ailment Forgiving all iniquities we confess with humble acknowledgment Sanctifying our hearts and souls with Your holiness-fulfillment Reproving us through compassionate chastisement… …Toward ministry’s sincere involvement. We exalt You, Lord, for granting us joy, subduing our arrogance Humbling us from disobedience due to self-dominance Vanquishing our skepticism, vanity and ignorance Driving us from lustful carnality's malfeasance… …Toward service heavenly inheritance. We glorify You, Lord, for granting us joy, upholding us in our difficulties Enabling our commitment to overcome inabilities Cheering us from discouragement-infirmities Assisting us against weakness and frailties… …Toward zealous reaching-out activities. We hail You, Lord, for granting us joy, blessing our stewardship Enabling us through Your might of sovereign leadership Welcoming us around Your warm sweet fellowship Offering to us Your valued precious friendship... ...Toward mission-support’s partnership. *Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
