We often look for joy,
in all of the wrong places
we try to find happiness
devoid of God's graces.

We look to be amused,
to play and to escape
hoping these exercises
will keep our joy in shape.

We try outside stimulants,
to help us forget our woes
we follow all kinds of fun
no matter where it goes.

But, if we want to find joy,
there's one place to look
and that is in His Word
found in the Good Book.

For there we will find,
His joy will bring us joy
and His very presence
will add joy upon our joy.

Joy fills His kingdom,
His Spirit shines of joy
salvation found in His Son
is every believers joy.

So come drink with me,
from the fountain of joy
immerse yourself wholly
in the waters of living joy.

John 15:11

'These things have I spoken unto you, that my
joy might remain in you, and that your joy
might be full."
