True Joy of Satisfaction
Real true joy comes from heaven above
my heavenly father is the real joy source
nothing of this old world can really satisfy
telling this to so many makes my voice hoarse
Living on this world Jesus showed real joy
His aim was always putting joy in the heart
increasingly filling each one to the fullest
this Jesus was always where it would start
The apostle Paul also knew this deep joy
speaking to the Philippians of Christ's comfort
seeking for his joy to be complete in them
coming from participation in Christ's court
The joy of knowing Christ Peter expressed
exhorting believers to experience this joy
which was inexpressible and filled with glory
so rejoice with lasting joy the real McCoy
(Verse 1 is based on
Psalm 4:7
You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound.
Verse 2 is based on
John 15:11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
Verse 3 is based on
Philippians 2:1-2
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
Verse 4 is based on
1 Peter 1:8-9
Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.)
