Joy Abounds

Through tears we see Your shining face
And open arms to us embrace;
No longer will we drink our tears
As love from You casts out our fears.

Our love from You to our love leads,
An answer to our deepest needs,
And human sin You will cast out
With anger gone and with it doubt.

We then discover truth in us
Was sown in hearts, before we trust,
With questions that we need to know
Will lead us to Your Noah’s bow.

Those questions You teach, You address;
Your answer to them is Yourself,
For wisdom’s love is all we need
As still, small voice in us we heed.

In restless hearts You dwell in peace,
And from our sin we find release–
Know love that we have never known
From seeds in our creation sown.

At last Your harvest of us comes,
For who we are, we have become
In fam’ly where we have been born,
And joy abounds–we’re not forlorn.
