Sept 1.98: Light For The Day - "Fountain of Joy"

"You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice
because of what the LORD has done.
You that obey Him, shout for joy!"
-- Psalms 32:11 (TEV)

"Fountain of Joy" 

You gave me life, O Giver of life,
Life from the tree of everlasting.
And bade me drink of living waters
Flowing from the crystal spring.

You gave me love, O Author of Love,
And wrote upon my heart of stone
The name of Him who loved me first,
And called me out to be His own.

You gave me peace, O Prince of Peace,
And set a watch upon my heart,
To keep me from the evil one,
Who throws temptation's fiery dart.

You gave me joy, O Fountain of Joy,
Bubbling up from eternal springs.
You are the Source, the Fountainhead
Of every song my heart now sings!

-- Yvan

"But all who find safety in You will rejoice;
They can always sing for joy.
Protect those who love You;
Because of You they are truly happy.
Protect those who obey you, LORD;
Your love protects them like a shield."

-- Psalms 5:11,12 (TEV)
