“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
Thankfulness isn’t just a word we use but is also an action we display. There are so many things to be thankful for but we can thank Him Who gave us so much by serving Him joyfully daily.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
As I journey on my way,
Joy that fills the heart with praises,
Ev’ry hour and ev’ry day.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
Joy that triumphs over pain,
Fills my soul with heaven’s music,
Till I join the glad refrain.
A life of service to God and others brings an attitude of gratitude and joy naturally falls into place. We will have no time for worry, sadness, chaos or depression when we live outside of ourselves.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
As I walk alone with God.
‘Tis the joy of Christ, my Savior,
Who the path of suffering trod.
There is joy in serving Jesus,
Joy amid the darkest night.
For I’ve learned the wondrous secret,
And I’m walking in the light.
Grateful for even the most minute tasks of service to my Savior.
There is joy, joy,
Joy in serving Jesus,
Joy that throbs within my heart;
Ev’ry moment, ev’ry hour,
As I draw upon His power,
There is joy, joy,
Joy that never shall depart.
I find my joy in serving my Lord. Some of my best memories of my childhood and young adult life is serving Him in church. Being raised in a pastor’s home one would think it was what we OUGHT to do but I WANTED to do! I loved every aspect of being in God’s house and the work that needed to be done there.
There is truly JOY in serving our Lord.
