I'Ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy Down In My Heart

The memories of yesteryear are so clear telling of a song you don't ever forget it tells of what's down deep in your heart which lifts you which you'll always be in debt I've got the joy, joy, joy down in my heart this is something this world knows of not for from heaven God sends down real deep this inexpressible joy into our heart slot So many people seem to lack this even religious folk don't look real but those who are God's spread it forth their demeanour shows they're real deal I do feel this inner joy deep within my soul God reveals himself bringing peace and calm when real trouble seems to be so very near the divine hand spreads upon me his healing balm This joy is not just feeling happiness its contentment, peace, calm all in one something that only God alone can do it radiates like a spiritual golden sun On the subject of joy, this is a song that brings back many memories, check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxFx8V3DSwc

i believe your muse is stroked by God's hands, so much beauty in this one! i grew up Catholic, and most of them didn't look real, or sincere...i got away from that church and have gone to many since, i like exploring the different beliefs as long as their God is my God :) hugs
