Joy does not come easy in this sinful life
Where do I look for Joy while enduring strife

Inner Joy does not come from this world
It came with Jesus His Joy unfurled 

Joy can be attained in any situation 
Looking to The Maker of our creation

Joy comes in the morning after a restful night's sleep
Continuing all day if His Commandments I keep

Spreading God’s Love and Joy to others I find 
Brings peace and happiness through God's design
