The Lord is my joy that remains.
For the goodness of His heart has become my portion in Christ.
For when i am lost, He finds me.
When i am afraid, He touches me.
When the darkness falls upon me, He knows me.
When i sin, He loves me.
The Lord is everlasting joy to my soul.
My spirit is held in His hands - He is my portion.
When the Lion roars, you strengthen me.
When i am broken into a thousand pieces, you make me whole.
When i am wandering, you lead me.
When i am needy, you are my fullness.
Praise the Lord with gladness of heart!
Because You live, we can sing and dance in newness of spirit.
Because You love, we can cry.
Because You are merciful, we can be at rest.
Because You suffered, we can endure all things with the joy of the cross.
Because You are our Wisdom, Sanctification, Consecration, and Redemption we can be wholly Yours. Praise the Lord with a humble heart!
Because You are our promise, a people from darkness can hope!
Blessed One, lead us in stillness and rest while we are here that we may come into your house and praise You in eternal joy.
Amen
