We can change our perspective
our walk in this life on earth
We can choose joy, if we want to,
in whatever our struggle
in whatever we may face
There is joy, if we choose joy,
sorrow, despair if we do not,
if we focus on the dust, on the struggle
not seeking God, not choosing joy
The glass, our lives, can be full, to overflowing
if we choose to see our lives that way
The glass, our lives are full, overflowing,
if we choose joy, if we wear Christ
Our lives can be amazing, full,
if we choose to reject despair
and claim joy right now
There is joy, if we choose joy,
in every situation, each moment,
We can choose to be joyful
no matter where we are
the glass, our lives
are not only filled halfway
