Deep and Full and Sustaining

Joyfulness is such a lovely feeling
a character that's so very appealing
meeting it in another person
draws you into its magical fold

It's an experience hard to describe
deep deep down right inside your heart
filling you right up to the very brim
feeling like overflowing in no small part

When you experience this joy
it takes one to a higher plane
flying away above such humanity
then the joy defeats all its slain

The originator of this sustaining effect
God sovereign and creator of all
this joyfulness comes down upon here
from heaven with Jesus on free fall

One of the promises from Jesus
to send His comforter here below
that joyfulness be planted deep within
like all good rhyme, it'll simply flow

(This is written about the appeal and value of being joyful and the effects of can have upon you.)
