Yesterday a friend shared how there are no words to express the joy a parent feels as they see their own children/child become genuinely excited as they begin to discover personally, the joy of Jesus!
...not belief or 'religion' they were taught
but Jesus as a friend and fullness of joy!
Let it light a holy fire
Leave desire struck with awe
Move through trouble’s mud and mire
With its pure and perfect law
Let it author hope’s elation
With its raw reality
And stir hearts to celebration
With its glad infinity
Let it make us truly humble
Dash to death the pride of life
Lest we dare to let greed grumble
Lest we cater to its strife
Let its laughter be contagious
Let its oil of grace anoint
Where, so faithful through the ages
It will never disappoint
Let its wonderment restore us
To the place we ought to be
Let the rapture of its chorus
Overthrow idolatry
Let it cheer Duty’s demanding
Stun fear with its rich reward
Where peace passes understanding
When we find joy in the Lord
