Sometimes when we take a moment to remember the wonder of all the things we have because of God’s Amazing Grace toward us; we must be filled with joy. The wonder, beauty, and Glory of knowing Jesus as our Savior, being adopted into the family of God, and being given the gift of His love should make our hearts sing with Joy. We should become overflowing fountains of His love and Grace toward those whom we meet along this journey. My prayer is that all the pieces of this puzzle of my life when fitted together are an echoing reflection of God’s Mercy, Grace, Love, Joy and Glory. My prayer is that you find God to be your greatest treasure and all your desires are met in Him. I wrote this poem this morning for you.
Awaken to Joy
By Effie Darlene Barba
Awaken, Awaken Oh heart of mine
Today has arrived so rich and Divine
Such Joy overflows into a new song
“By Grace I am Saved and By Grace I belong”
Wherever I go—whatever I do
Let Your Glorious Hope be all that I view
Such awe and wonder you place in my path
While never your anger– never your wrath
Oh Marvelous Grace that fills me with glee
Before your dear throne I have just this one plea
That your love flow forth to all whom I meet
Seeing Your Glory they fall at Your feet
Lord let me be a reflection of You
In all that I say and all that I do
Let the Grace that You freely gave to me
Be the Grace that I give to those I see
Let Love guide my feet wherever I go
Your joy and Your hope be all that does show
And one day, Dear Lord, when this earth I leave
Don’t let those who knew me one moment grieve
Because they know that you are my treasure
And being with you my greatest pleasure
Let the life that I lived be an echo so true
Of the Grace and the love that I found in You
Awaken, Awaken Oh heart of mine
Today has arrived so rich and Divine
Such Joy overflows into a new song
“By Grace I am Saved and By Grace I belong”
