What blocks the joy that I should have for God?
For joy that God's so good we should not wait,
our happiness therefrom should need no prod,
there's nothing should delay a joy so great.
Joy is a thrill that has a depth of peace,
it's not just feeling transitory fun,
joy is long term, its fun should never cease,
it comes from God, when all is said and done.
It's true we live within a vale of tears,
but joy is anchored in eternal things,
our God makes sure He cuts through doubts and fears,
though we are caged, our joyful heart-bird sings.
O God, I know Your face, I hear Your voice,
I really have no choice but to rejoice.
