When it seems your hopes are crumbling
When a sign says: No One Cares
Reach for Joy instead of grumbling
Every burden Jesus bears

In your Joy or in your trouble
Choose to kneel before His Face
At those times His Peace will double
He bestows Amazing Grace

Joy in Christ does not depend
On luck or chance or fate
It’s based upon God’s word, my friend
His plan is always great

Jesus gives the Grace we’re under
He’s so marvelous and Divine
Fills us up with Hope and wonder
Through it all, we rise and shine

Joy and Grace are hard to measure
They are Gifts from God above
Way beyond Earth’s greatest treasure
Right on course with Faith and Love!

James 1:17
Every good thing bestowed
and every perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of lights, with whom
there is no variation, or shifting shadow.
