Joy of the Lord

Excitement each day
Wondering what joy she will be given
Heart flows with gratitude
That He has issued her the gift
of another hopeful day

Enthusiastic each morning
Pondering who might benefit from her witness
Mind stills itself
As she listens 
For Him to give her guidance where to begin

Joy every hour
Of this day 
That the Lord hath made
Her cup spills over with gratitude
Grateful for His guidance 
and His Inner strength
Which pushes her forward
to do His will.
