Romans 5:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
How Lord, on earth, can it just be,
That ripening fruit you bear in me
Is seeded from your Spirt heart
That I might play a fuller part
In your creative holiness,
And share your joyful gift to bless.
You fill the darkness of my days
With joyful peace, an inner blaze.
Not of a raw, destructive fire
But still and gentle that inspires
A trust in your unfailing power
That overflows each day and hour.
O Joyous Spirit, Joy Divine
I claim your presence as a sign
Of deeper joy, of lasting grace,
The constant help I need to trace.
Lord through each tempest and each storm
With rainbow Joy, come now transform.
“The very nature of Joy makes nonsense
of our common distinction between having and wanting.” - C.S. Lewis
