Joy is a smile from Jesus

Joy isn't happiness.
Joy isn't cheer.
Joy is a peace from Jesus,
That calms all our doubts
And our fears.

Joy isn't comfort.
Joy isn't pleasure.
Joy is a gift,
Jesus gives,
Without measure.

Joy isn't glee.
Joy isn't delight.
Joy is a strength from Jesus,
That encourages us
To do right.

Joy is a smile from Jesus!
More then this sinful world gives.
Joy is the truth of Salvation!
True joy is knowing ~
Jesus lives!
