Gladness of heart makes hard work seem light.
Joy deep within makes every day bright.
Joy is a gift of strength from the Lord,
And when we are down it strikes a bright chord.
The Lord IS our light and joy for each day.
He keeps us from feeling downcast or blasé.
In Him is buoyancy, fervor and "lift".
He keeps enthusiasm from going adrift.
Circumstance should not determine our joy.
In daily challenge the Lord is our buoy.
He is our balance and strength for each day.
His joy is delightful in every way.
"For the joy of the Lord is your strength."
Nehemiah 8:10 KJV
"In thy presence is fulness of joy."
Psalm 16:11 KJV
