Dear Lord, Work into me a joyous heart With songs of love and peace That I be filled with great increase Let joy be my motto that fills the air That I rejoice, break out in song Knowing my pain won’t last for very long I sing to You a joyful song My heart filled with cheer As I receive your loving care I hold on. I do not let go. I cast aside all fear and sorrow For I know that You are with me I trust in You quite deeply My heart filled with joy This much I know As I live in the hope of a much better tomorrow You have put much hope in me That I be still in this present time And read your great Word and indulge upon your every line I sing of love, great songs of peace As I sing, I feel a great release Cover me with your loving grace As You turn towards me, your much merciful face. I can feel your love and your warm embrace. For You have gladdened my heart. Be near me always O Lord For You put joy in my heart, my much merciful, tender and faithful God. Praise the Lord, give thanks. For He is good. His steadfast love endures. 19.07.23 |
