When Sister B. sang this song, you couldn't help but be joyful with her. It's a soulful song, that moves you.
If you knew Sister B, you would know that she's been through some things; things where you think you would lose your mind. She would start off real low and stop to feel the words, and at some point she kept repeating ...after all I been through, after all I been through, after all the things I been through...the drums and bass guitar are doing their thing. No one could sit still. (I really miss that in church right now!)
I Still Have Joy
Chorus
I still have joy; I still have joy!
After all the things I've been through,
I still have joy! (sing twice)
There were times in my life
when I felt I couldn't go on
But the Lord He blessed me and He made me strong.
I kept the faith and I held on through the night.
This is my testimony--that He made everything alright!
Chorus
I get joy when I think about all He's done for me.
He even broke the habits trying to conquer me.
Well, I spoke to the mountain; it ran down to the sea.
I can't begin to tell you what He's done for me!
Chorus
There are times in my life when I feel I can't go on,
But the Lord He blesses and He makes me strong.
I keep the faith and I hold on through the night.
This is my testimony--
that He'll make everything alright!
Chorus
After all the things I've been through,
I still have joy!
I might not have been through the things Sister B went through - but we all go through. I started writing this last week as I was thinking about my life. Priorities are important in life and what you value is demonstrated in your life. All I know is that, regardless....I still have joy. It's a choice. I still have joy!
Some of us are going through huge difficulties right now - choose joy. Know that God is greater than your biggest problems - choose joy.
The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. Proverbs 10:28
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds... James 1:2Some of us are going through huge difficulties right now - choose joy. Know that God is greater than your biggest problems - choose joy.
The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. Proverbs 10:28
Do you still have joy? Have a blessed week!
