to GOD be the GLORY
~ Unspeakable Joy ~
By Deborah Ann

Joy that is counted,
no matter what goes on
is joy that believes . . .
in the grace of the Son.
Joy that is patient,
when it’s being tested
is joy that’s in Jesus . . .
at peace and rested.
Joy that is brimming,
without being requested
is joy that is in prayer . . .
completely invested.
Joy that’s inexpressible,
in things not observed
is joy that is in hope . . .
perfectly preserved.
Joy that’s heart grieving,
but is not by man taken . . .
is joy that is in God . . .
which cannot be shaken.
Joy that is counted,
joy that’s unshakable
is joy so wonderful . . .
it is unspeakable!
~~~~~~
“My brethren,
count it all joy
when ye fall into
divers temptations;â€
“And ye now therefore have sorrow:
but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice,
and your joy no man taketh from you.â€
“Whom having not seen,
ye love; in whom,
though now ye see him not,
yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory:â€
