It cannot be contained: this great joy and bliss
It is contentment and more than happiness
A laughter and light in the soul and the eyes
When the clouds are dark and pour rain it brightens the skies
It flows like spirit and life giving water through the veins
It stays positive when it experiences great pains
This exuberance bubbles over and spreads to one and all
It sings a little when loved ones come to call
It befriends and listens and beckons us to turn
An ear of mercy toward the least of these and teaches us to learn
This joy I feel inside is enough to drive me mad
But the best thing is that none of it is bad
I’m overcome with gladness and my heart it beats so fast
I’m not sure how much longer I can last
To have a friend by your side an answered prayer or two
I think you’d have a hard time containing your excitement too
If feeling this great is a crime then throw me in jail
But my joy will never be quenched and my gladness will prevail
God is great and rightly to be praised
So often has He shown is goodness and still I stand amazed
You have given me a love without limits a mercy without bounds
You spoke into my silence and looked upon me with favor
You have given me a gift greater than any I’ve known
To write for you in love and Adoration
And to share that love with all
You are my daily strength and you made me who I am
I am loved by you more fiercely than a mother for her child
I was molded in your hand formed with love and gentleness
This year I (You) have said is a year of Hope
The numerous signs point to this being true
You have blessed me abundantly in my trials and my strengths
You have given me patience and grace
Please help me now to hear your voice and find which way to go
Should I be a priest or deacon or is there something I still don’t know
Continue to be with me in my daily endeavors
Continue to send your angels over me as I sleep
You set the stars and moon at night and the sun for when we rise
Help me Lord not to look down, but keep my eyes ever fixed on you, the prize
Bring me deeper to your sacred heart of love
Bind me to the immaculate heart of your Mother
Give me a righteous and upright heart like Joseph
Fill me with the burning light of the Holy Spirit
Irradiate me and make me glow when others look at me
Let me shine for you Oh Lord shine your love your life your truth
Watch over us throughout our lives in our old age and in our youth
When the day is over and the sun has set low in the sky
I look toward the heavens far above as in my bed I lie
I pray the Lord my soul to keep and thank him for this day
Before I close my eyes to dream I think I hear him say
Sleep now my child and Rest In Peace
The day is done and work will cease
Live in my love wrapped in the shelter of my wings
Dream sweet dreams and look forward to what tomorrow brings
New mercies for you everyday new blessings from above
Be joyful be content for I am a God of Love
