Happy in the Lord

“But may the
righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Sing to
God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice
before him–his name is the LORD.” (Psalm 68:3-4 NIV)

I hope you are happy
and blessed today. I pray this poem will encourage you today. I wrote it on
January 18, 2007. Happy Am I . . .

Here I stand by
grace surrounded,

I am kept by love
divine;

All my enemies will
be confounded

Even though they may
align.

Happy am I, God’s
grace is mine!

Though relationships
all may pale,

And all friendships
surely fail,

I refuse to give up
all I cherish,

Even if at last I
perish;

Happy am I, God’s
love is fine!

In the fire God may
prove me,

From this world to
set me free,

He will never cease
to love me;

For his truth has
made me free.

Happy am I, God’s
grace is mine!

Here I stand by
grace divine,

I am kept both day
and night,

God is in me like
new wine,

Now and forever my
only light.

Happy am I, God’s
love is fine!

Dear Father, thank
you for the joy you give. Empower us to share the joy with others. I pray this
in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Be strong and
courageous today happy in the Lord,
