Joy From Above

We’ve many reasons for joy friend, a joy from God that has no end,

A joy that begins deep within, the hearts of many who come to Him.

And this joy placed within our hearts, shall never end, wants it starts,

These reasons for joy all come from, God above and Christ His Son.



As God in Heaven condescended to, lowly sinners like me and you,

To shine down into a darkened place, the Light of His Saving Grace,

And God sent to earth, His Only Son, to be the Savior for everyone,

Conceived by the Spirit of Eternity; born of a virgin so all could see.



He had compassion for all the world, sending us with news to herald,

That Christ came for every nation, to be for all men, God’s Salvation.

This was accomplished at Calvary, where Christ died for you and me,

Reconciling sinful man to God; bringing peace to this earth men trod.



Through His death on the cross, He purchased life for all sinners lost,

Conquering for man death and sin, and victory attained for all by Him.

We’re adopted into the family of God, while still upon this earthly sod,

Brought into Christ’s sanctified Church, and all through a spiritual birth.



Now waiting for the coming of Christ, to be transported to Eternal Life,

Then receive a new body glorified; to be eternally by The Savior’s side.

For these reasons and many more, we have a joy from Christ our Lord,

God’s joy that you can also receive, if you this day would only believe.
