The Joy of My Life 🙌

The Joy of my life is Jesus
Who plucked me from the grave:
And from a life of misery,
He graciously did save.
His love was unconditional
Though my heart was black with sin.
He didn’t turn His back on me,
But drew me close to Him.
Compassion looked beyond the filth,
And He saw what I could be:
With just a thorough cleansing
There was potential still in me.
He removed the filthy rags
And clothed me in His best;
Wrapped me in Heaven’s finest,
His own righteousness.
Inside He placed a brand new heart
My frown became a grin.
All day I sing His praises
For I owe my joy to Him.

“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness…”
