Joy

JOY

to be loved 
unconditionally 
never weep over past 
failure
to be exalted in humble 
infamy
receive mercy and grace in our
favor


to be frail without any 
claim
no bargaining power in 
plight
to be blessed in frailty’s
name
knowing our strength is His
might


no greater JOY than His 
provision

no greater JOY than His 
love                                                                                                                                                                                   
no greater JOY than His 
precision                                                                                                                                                                      
no greater JOY than His  
above
