Here is a bold statement
an assurance of happiness
peace in the struggle
in our journey of faith
you can have the joy of the Lord
if you choose to
no matter your circumstance
your walk of faith
joy is a choice
each and every moment
following the world or
following the Christ
you can have the joy of the Lord
if you choose to
rich or poor
even in illness or sorrow
joy is a choice
not a mood, a feeling
a decision we make
how we walk by faith.
