The Joyful Ones!

Life has been sobering as of late. Have you found that as well? It has a way of being that way. Why, He even tried to warn us, to let us in on that secret. He told us that there would be "various trials" and that the enemy would come in like a flood. He even said there would be mourning. In case you didn't think He was serious, let me assure you, He was.

But I will also assure you of this.

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him!

Various trials will produce faith and strength of character.

Mourning may last for a night, but joy will come in the morning!

"Happy, happy, are the people whose God is the Lord!"

We are the people that know the joyful sound! Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring! The sin-sick world will hunger for such songs, and find solace in our tuneful melodies.

So sing!
Ring!
Let that joyful sound be heard!


(Is that better Ry?)
