Joyful Strength

This week has been long already

and it is just day number two

But I have a plan to remain steady

Giving all of my thoughts back to You~

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength

So many things to think about

So many things to do

My anxious thoughts want to scream and shout

But my heart remains steadfast in You~

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength

Each one of my girls have issues 

that they want to talk over with me

Some of them require tissues

But this too shall pass, they will see~

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength

Three parties, exams and a wedding shower

are all crammed into this week

But You are my strong tower

in You is the strength that I seek~

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength

So my prayer today for you my friends

is that you too will find rest in the Lord

His Mercies are new, the manna He sends

And His Word is as sharp as a sword~

The Joy of the Lord is my Strength

Nothing can take His presence from you

No height, no depth and no length

Hold fast to that truth in all that you do

The Joy of the Lord is your Strength!

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song."  Psalm 28:7
