Joy And Refreshing

Lord, You are my hope and You are my joy.
In You I find strength which I can employ.
I will look up and I will rejoice.
I will sing praises with heart and with voice.

Why should I look down or just sit and mope,
Or wonder each day just how I will cope.
In You is resource which never will end...
So very much more than we comprehend.

I won't give gloominess even a glance.
The joy of the Lord is my chosen stance!
Your Word is a wellspring which I will explore.
In You is refreshing, new life and much more!

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, and with my song will I praise him."
Psalm 28:7 KJV
