THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH

Our emotions are a special gift from the Lord;

Each emotion is different, but all are from God!

There are times when sorrow is good and clean;

Tears may come when we remember our sins!

 

Joy is a special emotion that is given by the Lord;

It may come from understanding the Word of God.

And with this joy we find renewed strength to cope;

The Word of God brings enlightenment and hope.

 

The joy of the Lord is a special gift from heaven;

Sorrow is swept away and God’s love is given.

There is great cause for celebrating this godly gift;

The Lord has restored fully and there is no more rift!

 

Wisdom is needed to fathom what this joy represents;

Revelation of God’s loving desire to bless portends.

The heart that is filled with the Joy of the Lord,

Will find amazing strength from our gracious God!
