Day Forty Four - I’ve got joy

I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart (where?)

Remember a time when you just couldn’t stop smiling...

For me it was when the nurse first handed me my son and I held him so close.

Remember that feeling of total joy...

Down in my heart (where?)

Find that place deep inside where you hold those precious memories...

Find your heart, your soul...

Down in my heart.

Remember feeling like, in that moment, everything was perfect...

That all your prayers were being answered and God was holding you in his everlasting arms...

I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart to stay

Pause and acknowledge that all things come from the Lord…

He is our source of joy...

Through his Son were we made perfect...

And I’m so happy, so very happy

Smile and the world feels like a better place...

Smile and those around you will smile too...

Smile and share the love...

I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart

Yes, that love. The love for all those who are lost and seek…

The love that dwells inside each one of us when we know Him…

And I’m so happy, so very happy

So be joyful and remember those times when you couldn’t stop smiling…

Be joyful and remember all the good things with which you have been blessed…

Be joyful and remember the love

I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart
