Joyful, Joyful!

Song we sang in church today and I'm still celebrating. Ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a while at Wal Mart today, and he said I seemed really happy. I was like, cool I'm glad it shows!! I had just come from church and was feeling full of His joy. Anyway, I want to write much more that's on my heart, but for now, here's the song (Beethoven gets some credit for the lyrics, too, but it's a Passion song performed by Charlie Hall...)

We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning and You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning and You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

All Thy works
All Thy works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays
Stars and Angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/passion_worship_band/joyful_joyful_we_adore_thee.html ]
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee

Mortals
Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning over us
Brother love binds man to man

Ever singing, march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us Son ward
In the triumph song of life

Yeah, we sing a joyful song
To a joyful King, to a joyful King

And we sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning, You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

And we sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning, You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

You're the joyful King
And we are Your children
Your sons, Your daughters
So joy, so loved, so [Incomprehensible]
Full of jubilation
To a joyful King, to a joyful King

HOPE

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—
(~Emily Dickinson)
