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. August 8, 2020
