Your Heart's Gladness
In bible there is occasional mention
in the word of gladness and of joy,
and sometimes
they are mentioned together;
but gladness is mentioned
when the subject treated of
is truth and its affection.
and joy when it is
good and its affection.
'...Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the sound of singing.'
(Isa 51:3)
Your Heart's Gladness
Sometimes, when you cry,
no one sees your tears
sometimes, when you doubt
on one sees your fears.
Sometimes,when you worry,
on one sees your strain
sometimes, when you hurt
no one sees your pain.
Sometimes, when you lose,
on one sees your loss
sometimes, when you ache
on one sees your cross.
Sometimes, when you care,
on one sees how much
sometimes, when you reach out
on one sees your touch.
Sometimes, when you weep,
on one sees your sadness
but my friend,all the time
Jesus brings the heart gladness.
