TheFOUNTAINofJOY

"The FOUNTAIN of JOY!"

{Poem Book 2}

Oh, drink deeply from the Fountain *

for, oh what JOY it brings,

TRUST HIM & 'don't be afraid', *

then 'His Salvation' you can sing! *

'Praise Him' from the Mountains *

'Praise Him' in the Valley low, *

As God IS your 'strength' *

& 'His JOY' you'll surely know! *

'Fret not' about today *

nor what tomorrow holds, *

For your GOD is with you *

helping you be 'strong & bold'. *

Put 'all' into HIS Hands *

let Him carry you along, *

And He'll put into your heart *

a very 'brand new' SONG! *

Singing from your deepest soul

As you 'yield' to His Control; *

'Praises' always lifting you out

From all worry, fear & doubt! *

For HE knows what He is doing

carrying out His PLANS in you, *

Remember ~ you've told Him

He could do ANYTHING with you! *

'Anything' that would bring Him Glory *

'anything' that would exalt His Name, *

NEVER what my will but Thine, Lord *

NEVER what would bring You 'shame'. *

Away with 'self-pity'

for that is NOT of God, *

As it only serves to bring you low

as on this Earth you trod.

'Pride', too, has NO PLACE *

as it only 'puffs you up', *

Then something comes along *

& to the ground you drop! *

So just rely on God's Mercy *

& on His 'Saving Grace', *

'TRUST Him' to help you run *

so you can 'finish' your race. *
