Happiness seems far away
and out of reach
and sometimes
it's easier to convey
our miseries,
our sadness,
our loneliness.

But how can we convey
our blissful and
unadulterated
joy,
happiness,
radiance?

After the tears comes the triumph.

And it is beautiful.
And though it only
comes along once in a while,
I will sing.
I will dance.
I will rejoice.

I said,
"I will let You take control,
I will have faith in You,
I will trust that You
will lead me to
where I need to be."

We stood together on the hill
We saw where You died for us
You washed away our sins, our guilt.
The pain and agony You went through
for me is indescribable,
and what I go through could never measure
up to it...

Because I have You,
there is no pain.
there is no agony.

This is love.
