JOY met HAPPINESS one day
Along the rock-strewn path of life
The answer they both sought to find
Was how to gain real peace of mind.
Each one was given time to choose
In trials that would test their faith
The daily strength that JOY embraced
Was trusting God's fulfilling grace.
But verdant fields drew HAPPINESS
Where earthly toys and pleasures lay
The search for gain and earthly store
Became the quest for wanting more.
When time began to test the soul
While facing pressures all around
Their choice revealed if trust and faith
Was found in God's abundant grace.
JOY early learned to trust God's Word
Whose promise He would always keep
If heaven's kingdom became first
He then would quench all earthly thirst.
By chance they met another day.
The searching heart of HAPPINESS
Expressed a need to find a way
To fill that void that leads astray.
God's simple plan was then revealed
For earthly things that weigh the soul.
JOY fills the vacuum of each heart
Where Christ becomes a living part.
--B. Pent
