JOY!!

Joy

  J ust as the darkness
Tries to settle in
Your joy starts, begins
A canopy over despair
Always will it win

  O nly in looking up
Learning in You, Christ,
Simply to trust
Will I avoid into my soul
A violent world's 
Angry thrusts

  Y earning, turning
More deeply, completely
To You, Lord God,
Will I ever in this broken world
Be able to better know, show
YOUR JOY!!!
