Joy, Hope, and Kindness
Let us share gifts of joy, hope, and kindness
Springing from God with His love’s graciousness*
Vanquishing selfishness and haughtiness
Warming hearts against apathy’s coldness.
Let us exude sweet kindness, joy, and hope
Blessed by the Lord midst His compassion scope
Cheering those who, in burdensome gloom, grope
Propelled toward revived, fruitful faith-cope.
Let us radiate hope, kindness, and joy
Glowing with goodness, Christ does employ
Blissfulness devoid of deceptions’ alloy
Encouraging smiles from young girl and boy.
Let us make kindness, hope, and joy to reign
Allowing such virtues to be our gain
Smiting pride, bitterness, or greed-caused pain
Helping, reaching-out along care’s terrain.
*Psalm 145:8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
