We all enjoy our happiness,
Though it can come and go.
But real joy has a stable source
That does not ebb and flow.
Joy does not leave when things are bad.
It knows the dark won't last.
Joy is not undermined by loss
And watches hard times pass.
Joy fills our hearts when we know God
And how he loves us all.
Believers all rejoice in Him,
Who makes the humble tall.
Throughout the ages scripture says
God acts in all our lives.
He seeks to fill us with himself,
So that our joy will thrive.
God gave a special gift to earth,
The promise he had sworn.
A lowly teen had given birth,
The Son of God was born.
His impact on the world was great.
This holy baby boy,
He came to show what love could do,
And gave us Christmas joy.
