We can change our perspective
how we 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
if we do not seek God, if we do not choose joy;
The glass, our lives, can be full, to overflowing
if we choose to see our lives that way
they can be filled with joy
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 instead
There is joy in our lives, if we choose joy,
in every situation, each moment;
We can choose to be joyful
no matter where we are
the glass is not empty, full to overflowing,
our lives are not only filled halfway
they are filled with joy
