THE GIFT OF JOY
War is deadly devastating;
It causes immeasurable suffering.
The heart is broken badly;
Natural joy is lost to many.
The Lord gave a stirring promise;
He promised that Joy would increase.
War would cease with the enemy defeated;
Joy would return to all who have suffered.
The nation would see the population grow;
War had caused many families to sorrow.
Loved ones are killed because of oppression;
But the Lord would see to the population.
The war implements would be destroyed;
The nation would see many gainfully employed.
All may share in this special joy of victory;
The Lord would give special joy faithfully.
Inspiration: Isaiah 9:3-5
