J O Y

A smile, a laugh, song, dance or grin, A peace that seems to never end. A feeling that flows deeper than emotions; Greater than a deep blue sea and wider than an ocean. A joy so powerful, a joy so full, A joy so awesome on others it will pull. It penetrates an ice cold room, It alleviates all the sadness and gloom. Like sweet juice from a peachy fruit, That flows down on your three-piece suit. Joy floods the soul in a similar way, Lifting you up in the midst of your day. Joy is Jesus, Others and then Yourself, It's richness greater than any wealth. For Jesus will carry you through stormy weather, Removing oppression, depression, you will feel light as a feather. Jesus will strengthen you along the way, You will be encouraged by what Others say. You, Yourself will have a joy within; That will put on your face a smile, laugh or grin. Joy unspeakable, full of joy A joy so strong, sadness it will destroy. Joy of the Lord, joy of a song, Joy, Joy, Joy that makes you strong.
