Treating each day as the Sovereign Lord’s wondrous gift
Indeed propels heart for blest triumphant uplift
Toward joyous task-fulfillment midst time so swift
Smiting slothfulness blight.
Finding significance in simple pleasure
Like child’s mirth that exuberance-price can’t measure
Along smiles of cheers with delightful care treasure
Can prosper wellness flight.
Staying jubilant is my prayerful choice
By God’s grace, striving that In Him I do rejoice*
Conquering hypocrisy and selfishness noise
Such is my spirit’s plight.
Overcoming gloom attack by gratitude shout
My faith in Christ of vibrant service rules out doubt
To glow with worship praises against haughty pout
Radiating love’s light!
*Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
