Where’s The Joy ~

There are too many Christians,
with long and mopey faces
who go around as if . . .
they don’t know about God’s graces.

When you meet them on the street,
they are always looking down
they walk as if . . .
they don’t carry God’s joy around.

Their smiles are thin and forced,
their eyes are dull and gray
their faces look as if . . .
they haven’t rejoiced a single day.

When you sit and talk to them,
their voices are low and depressed
they speak as if . . .
their happiness has been suppressed.

They can’t seem to understand,
the joy that you feel
they think as if . . .
you took some kind of a happy pill.

But as Christians ~ we’re to be joyful,
no matter what comes our way
for we know there are no “ifs” about
the One who strengthens us each day!
