You ask me why I smile this way,
I really can't recall a reason why.
It's just that I'm so happy today;
I've got such joy inside.
Ever since I started givin' everything to my King,
All my life has been so blessed,
Makes me wanna sing!
I really can't explain it,
Sure can't describe it.
All I know to tell you is this--
The joy of the Lord is my strength,
He gave me beauty for the ashes I had worn,
He turned my mourning into dancing all around for joy!
Oh I guess, that this smile just might show
What His love does for me!
They say the outside always shows
The things that are inside of your heart.
I pray that what Your are seein'
Is the love of Christ abidin' in me.
He's changed my life so wonderf'ly,
Gave a song to my heart and
Dance to my feet!

Oh I know, that this smile could never show
All His love means to me!
'A happy heart is good medicine, but a bitter spirit dry the bones'
ReplyDeleteCan't recall where that is in Proverbs, but it is something a lot of us seem to have problems with.
Having a happy heart is different from being 'happy', when your 'happy' it is a circumstance happiness, but a happy heart always sings, even in times of trouble and woe.
