THE JOY OF LOVE

The joy of true love beats within my heart,
Which seems to help me see rainbows in the rain.
It helps me find in the mundane things in life
Beauty, that to the loveless is boring and plain.

Love fills my life so full, that I could never count
The blessings given every day to this poor child,
It helps me know the joys in the simple things
That on the earth do grow, or wander free and wild.

The joy that comes from a deepening love divine
Cannot be voiced without tears pouring from my soul,
Tears of gratitude, tears of rejoicing, tears of love
Knowing that you and I my dear, have a common goal.


I was given the power to love, a priceless gift indeed
One to be treasured and used with wisdom from above,
For though I am not perfect and often sin, if I use my gift,
I hope and pray the Lord will let me in His home of love.
