“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
(Psalm 16:11 ESV)
“Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
(John 16:24 ESV)
Even though we had storms yesterday, that could not stop my joy. Joy songs kept running through my mind. I thought I would share them.
“It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,
(Joy Unspeakable by Barney Elliot Warren)
Full of glory, full of glory.
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory;
O the half has never yet been told!”
Then another oldie but goodie. I remember Grannie singing this on The Beverly Hillbillies:
“I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy
(I’ve Got the Joy Joy JoyJoy by George William Cooke)
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay.”
Then there’s Undignified:
“I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king.
(Undignified by Matt Redman)
Nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul.
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king.
Nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul.
And I’ll become even more undignified than this.
Some would say it’s foolishness but
I’ll become even more undignified than this.”
Why am I so happy? I serve a risen Savior:
“He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
(He Lives by B. D. Ackley)
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.”
Want to be as happy as me? Give your life to Jesus and live your life for Him. After all, He died so we could live.
Have a blessed day everyone.
