Embrace Pure Joy

 James 1:2-4

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,
[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, 
not lacking anything.




Embrace pure joy 
Ahoy, ahoy 
God’s grace is not 
Some moot decoy 
But rends the dark 
As we embark 
And press toward 
Victory’s mark 
His hope, 
The anchor of the soul 
While waves of want 
And wonder roll 
Beneath the toll 
Of day-to-day 
That draws Time’s 
Fleeting charge away 
In little barges 
on a sea 
that pours into 
eternity
