A Joy No Greater - 3 John 4

God reveals His truth for His children 
to edify and nurture them aright
showing them the way of the cross
pointing how to fight the good fight

The believers walkway goes round many bends
taking God’s children down on many a route
this really causes trials and turns for a testing
making one sanctified fully ready to shoot

Taking on all of God’s strong armour
armed with the belt of truth round waste
applying it to every individual’s situation
eating up scriptures such melting taste

God’s joy is truly complete
when seeing His children walk
fully in His truth so gracefully
a joy no greater than walk the talk

(‘I have no greater joy than to hear my children walk in truth’. 3John 4)
