THE REJOICING OF THE SPIRIT

There is a kind of Joy that everyone may experience;

It is a joy that the heart feels and one feels gladdened.

But that joy does not seem to last very long;

All too soon, that feeling fades along with the song.

 

But there is a kind of joy that is deeper;

It is a joy that the soul feels, and it is richer.

The spirit feels light and is wonderfully happy;

It is able to see the light of heaven’s glory.

 

The spirit is the deeper part of Man;

It was created by God’s mighty hand.

The spirit is the lamp of the Lord;

It searches deeply, the things of God.

 

The spirit is able to recognize God’s majesty;

It sees how God has blessed us so graciously.

The spirit cannot but rejoice in God’s blessings.

It will seek to magnify the Lord in thanksgiving!
