Nehemiah 8:10 “Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the JOY of the LORD is your strength.”

************

The ‘JOY’ of the Lord is our strength,
So, get plenty of ‘JOY’ today;
Receive it…first,
And then…just give it away!

It’s the giving that produces,
Great happiness…within;
No longer a loser,
We have come to win!

Happy means ‘blessed’…you know,
And, ‘blessed’…we truly are;
So, let that ‘blessed’ break forth,
No need for a life of BLAH!

'Happy' is…as 'happy' does,
And, 'happy' rules the day;
No frowning around here,
'Happy'…has come to stay!

It will bubble-up…inside you,
A lid can’t hold it down;
Nothing’s going to stop it,
Not even a GREAT, BIG frown!

So…get with the program,
‘JOY’ is here to stay;
It pays great dividends,
And, I choose to live that way!
