Sonnet: The Joy in Being a Christian:
A quiet peace descends upon the soul,
When resting in the Saviour’s gentle grace.
His perfect love has made the broken whole,
And light divine now shines upon my face.
When resting in the Saviour’s gentle grace.
His perfect love has made the broken whole,
And light divine now shines upon my face.
Though earthly storms may rage and trials rise,
And shadows try to cloud the narrow way,
I fix my gaze upon the distant skies,
And walk in brilliant, never-ending day.
And shadows try to cloud the narrow way,
I fix my gaze upon the distant skies,
And walk in brilliant, never-ending day.
For joy is not the absence of all grief,
But deep assurance that the Lord is near.
A steadfast anchor for a strong belief,
That casts out every bitter doubt and fear.
But deep assurance that the Lord is near.
A steadfast anchor for a strong belief,
That casts out every bitter doubt and fear.
In serving Him, my heavy heart takes flight,
And walks forever in His holy light.
And walks forever in His holy light.
