I Rejoice!

I rejoice because of His Goodness, His Mercy and His Grace

I rejoice because of the breath He gives me

Breath I use to Live

Breath I use to love

Breath I use to laugh

Breath I use to praise Him
and thank Him each day

I Rejoice!

I rejoice because of His always evident love
Love showered on me through my wife,

my children

my family

I Rejoice!

I rejoice because His love fills my heart with a joy known by few

               but available to all
I Rejoice!

I rejoice because He let me feel the rain on my face and the grass between my toes
I Rejoice!

I rejoice because He lets me see His work every day
                A rainbow, a flower, a storm
                           My daughter's smiling eyes
               My son's inquisitive nature

A birds beautiful voice
I Rejoice!

I rejoice because I choose Him of my own will every day
               I choose light over darkness
                           Love over hate

               Happy over sad
I Rejoice!

I rejoice because He works through me
               He works with me
                          He works on me
I Rejoice!

I rejoice because he has in-trusted me, one of His lambs to be a steward of other lambs
               Sheltering their hearts and guiding their steps

                          So they one day will choose Him too
I Rejoice!

I rejoice because the light he has placed in me, in us all shines brighter in me each day
                I rejoice as part of my testimony

                           I rejoice because my God is an awesome God

I rejoice for there is no greater love
I Rejoice!
