Joy Overflowing

Fulfill the joy that has been afforded to you,
And rejoice in everything you do.
The joy that by none can be taken,
Even though your world might be shaken.

Things may arise to steal your joy,
But God fulfilling, nothing else can employ.
Joy like fountains gushing out of me,
And it is because Jesus died for thee.

Joy, I will let the whole world know,
That my Lord has called me forth to go.
Bright and indwelling, this joy I am telling,
No darkness can cover, no evil dispelling.

Jesus gave me the joy of my salvation,
And He changed my eternal destination.
Joy from me is overflowing,
Because my Jesus, I am knowing.

This joy is yours to share,
If Christ, you have given your soul to care.
For joy is not found on this mortal plane,
But in Christ, He for our sins was a slain.
