My Joyous Heart Sings

Since becoming choir director at my church in late March, my heart has been expanding and expanding and expanding with joy until today it was finally so full of joy, it burst and in the droplets of joy that showered over me, I found this poem.  -K


My joyous heart sings

            "Sing out, oh my soul"

When I sing unto the Lord

       my world is perfect and whole

My heart was once empty

       for meaning it did long

And then You surprised me 

        and gifted my heart a song

This song You have given

         has been there all along

And now that I've found it

       the tune grows ever strong

The song in my heart
               is not just for me
It is for all who seek Him
             it is God's melody

May the music in my heart never end

          may it play forever more

May it bring glory to the one

       that my heart adores

I sing for You, Lord

I sing for me

I sing for the joy of others

I sing for all eternity
