JOY MUST SIMPLY BE

Hills that skip and trees that clap

the mountains seem to cheer.

The stars can sing . . .  how shall I bring

my note of praise to hear?

An autumn sun reveals Your love

’cause harvest time is on.

When curses loose, then joy’s the fruit

sweet succulence from God.

Lame can leap, the mute can talk

life bursts from desert sands.

All sorrow knows that it must go

before the great I AM.

~

I think that joy must simply be

release from every binding thing,

each burden from the Fall –

the resonance of Rich Romance

when I hear my Maker’s call.

~

Joy is just the way things were

when God first said, “It’s good.”

So let me have a joyful heart

and thankfulness of soul.

A river knows which way to flow . . .

so I will too, as I’m renewed . . .

quietly cleansed . . . in Gentleness carried . . .

wrapped in the Arms of Love.
