Song of Joy

“Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!” Psalm 47:1

A song of joy

In my heart does play,

Lyrics of love

As I follow Your way.

~*~

Beautiful this song,

Precious the words,

Beating in my heart,

Singing with birds.

~*~

Trees and clouds

Join the celebration,

Together we dance

For the gift of salvation.

~*~

You are our Song,

You bring us delight,

You are our Sonshine,

Our Star in the night.

~*~

So for You, O Jesus,

We sing this song;

We rejoice in Your love,

Wide, deep and long.

~*~

Sweeter than life,

Than all we know,

Is this precious love

To us You do show.

~*~

You pour of Yourself,

You give us Your all,

You kiss with grace

All things, big and small.

~*~

Everything and everyone

Is touched by Your love:

To us it streams freely

From Your throne above.

~*~

So a song of joy

The entire earth does fill;

We sing of Your glory,

We delight in Your will.

~*~

The image of Your cross

Forever we do see,

There we see love

Ever so radiantly.

~*~

Precious is this gift,

This gift of salvation;

So to You, Lord Jesus,

We give adoration.

~*~

And a song of joy

In every heart does play,

Endless lyrics of love

As we follow Your way.

~*~
