Everyone wants to be it
But very little seem to be able to hold onto it
And we constantly find ourselves asking:
“Am I happy?”
Through self-sacrifice and loyal love
Serving and worshiping
Giving, and not by taking
We will learn to ask: “Am I making God happy?”
Happiness is temporary,
Joy eternal
Something that comes from within
That can always be found
When we look at our lives
Through the Father’s eyes
So look at the birds
The stars
The sea
And the trees
Turn away from the mirror
And look at your soul
For that is where you find it:
All-consuming
Overflowing
Constant
Joy
In the One who created it to be found.
