Joy and Thanksgiving

by Sindy Nagel

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit’s fire (1 Thessalonians 5:16-19).

I’ve put in you a joyful heart

A gift of my great love

When others look upon your face

They see your God above.

Give thanks in every circumstance

You meet along the road

This is My will for you in Christ

Who carries your heavy load.

My Spirit deep within your soul

Lives only for My name

He guides you in My will for you

Don’t quench My Spirit’s flame.

Your constant prayers and grateful heart

Are blessings unto Me

Living in My will for you

Will set your spirit free.

Be joyful always; pray non-stop

Give thanks for all I give

Listen to the words I speak

In abundance, you will live.
