Joy

My spirit rejoices at Your beckon

You have done great things

I look around

I look around and see

I smell the air

I feel the ground beneath my feet

I dance 

I dance 

Joy unspeakable joy

The sun shines above my head 

And warms my body 

I sing 

I sing

I cherish every moment

You are a djembe left on a bus stop on a sunny day

You are the thunder a flower makes in bloom

You are a choir’s croon

There is so much joy in me I can’t contain 

I am naked next to the trees

I wiggle my body and wave my hands

You are every instrument in the band

You have done great things

You have done great things

I was lost 

And You have done great things

I was hungry 

And You have done great things

I was homeless 

And You have done great things

I am found and fed and housed 

And You have done great things 

I cannot praise You enough 

For all that You have done

You are a purple sky 

On a cold November night

You are snow falling slowly to the ground 

You are my grandfather’s memory found

Every breath I take 

I am filled with more joy

So I breathe a breath deeper than the last

You

You

Spark joy

Spark dance

Spark praise

You

You

You
