joy.

Happiness is a simple thought
But Joy a gem more finely wrought
By choice instead of circumstance;
Rejoicing happens not by chance.
A smile of happiness is sweet;
A joyous smile, more firm, complete.
Value living, liberty,
But happiness as naught to thee.
Choose Joy, and find thyself more free.

love.

I love Thee, Lord,
But I - for loving - gain no praise;
Thou loving first this wretch,
By grace.
And yet, what sweeter glory be,
But that Thy love should honor Thee?
