Lasting Joy
I heard her singing to the morn
Soft and still, as if meant to warn
Where the black night dwindles to day
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Whisper of the bluebird in flight
Rising from the murkiest night
Honest as one who kneels to pray
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
I never knew such precious grace
As the love on His gentle face
Love far brighter than the sun’s ray
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Gentle words so softly spoken
Lifting up the heart who’s broken
Peace in the soul on the Lord’s Day
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Rise to hear the song of the wood
Revealing the hope that withstood
Listen to God’s word and obey
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Sing to the night, sing to the light
Wherever He is, all is right
His sweet love will never betray
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Write it down, poetries in word
Breath of wonder, at last we’ve heard
Believe and never go astray
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
It rises on the wings of praise
His love will forever amaze
He is the One who ends the gray
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Silence the windstorm with His still
Blessing souls, He’ll ever fulfill
Our sin debt, Jesus took away
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
All the fears, the tears and the years
Are quieted when He appears
And, when our lifetime, we replay
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
Follow the One who came to give
Saving souls so we’ll always live
In the sky, in heaven someday
There is a joy that’s sure to stay
