Although today's not sunny
there's sunshine in my heart.
I'm filled with joyful blessings—
the ones Yahweh imparts.
My feet are gaily dancing—
there's music in my soul.
I'm blessed beyond all measure
by God whom I extol.
My spirit sings out praises
with thanks to God above;
my heart is overflowing
with gratitude and love.
I pray that I am able
to share my joy with you
and that which God has granted
so you'll be joyful too.
