Kim Rodrigues Poet Couplet

Jump for Joy

Jump for joy, not my knees,
but in the Spirit with ease.
Jump for joy, Hallelujah!
View King of glory with awe.
Jump for joy all my days.
Floodgates of heavenly praise.
Though the flesh is weak,
in quiet & quickened hymns I speak.
Jump for joy, my shadow all,
then with faithful love I fall.
I bend, I bow - His glory seek.
A little thing - my knees do creak.
Jump for joy! Jump for joy!
Kind women, strong men, each girl & boy…
Spiritual circuits of fellowship,
loving each other, each in Christ’s grip.
Our songs like deep rivers of turquoise.
Our hearts overflowing with rejoice.
