Oh What Joy

Oh What Joy

When my life is past and my work here done;

When I walk the streets of gold.

To be with my King, my Father in heaven;

What  great joy  will lift my soul.

When I see his glory fill the heavens;

And angels kneeling  at his throne;

I'm sure I'll be rejoicing with them there;

Praisin' God that I am home.

What joy, I'm sure will fill my heart that day;

Just to see Him look at me.

Just to see him smile, close beside me walk;

My Savoiur, who died for me.

Chorus:

Oh what joy, we will know in heaven one day;

When  this world has past away.

We will never know a teardrop  or sorrow;

And we'll  never be afraid.

Oh what joy, we will know, when we see Him ;

Only joy that heaven can tell;

For He has forgiven us of all our sins;

Gave us heaven and spared us from hell.

You Are The Joy Of My World

 Isaiah 52:9
 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

Knowing Joy 

We all have different lives.  We have a world in this world, and that world is the world of people we know, places we go, the place we live and what we allow in our lives. Christ is part of my world, and He has given me joy.  I can't say that I'm always joyful, but Christ has taught me to be joyful.  Praising the Lord and meditating upon His Word is a way to restore joy each day. Without him is emptiness like a desert place that never knew joy or can truly know it.  Making Christ the most valuable part of our world comes first by accepting his gift of salvation, which he offers to every man, woman, and child.  Maintaining joy comes through a faithful life of meditation upon His Word, faith, singing, praising, thanksgiving, and prayer. Keeping a clear conscience before God is also very important in maintaining joy.  We can not continue in sin and continue in the joy of the Lord.
God resists the proud who will not humble themselves and turn from sin, but he draws nigh to the humble one, who repents and turns from his sin. Maintaining a good relationship with Christ will enable us to know and live a joyful life.  Though life has sorrows and troubles, like Paul and Silas who were thrown in a cold, dark prison, we too can find joy through our problems.
