Us Be Glad
It is the warmth of the sun that has brought a smile on my face,
It is the blowing of the wind that has freed my hair to soft air,
It is the green of the plants that has made me grateful for my sight,
It is the abundance of love that has made me so glad.
What a great joy it is
To wake to a new day
Safe in the knowledge that
I have been saved,
Tireless in the hope that
My dreams have a chance to blossom,
Immovable in the reason that
Goodness lives on another day
Comforted by the presence
Of the birds and angels around me,
A great joy it is to see the light
Brighter than any other evil around
Soldiering onwards everyday,
Trailing footprints of power,
That is not known by men
Indeed gladness has been our story
And continues to be our story.
