Overflowing Joy

“So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine.
My purpose for telling you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness!” John 15:4, 11 TPT

Jesus:
Know My love
The Joy I have in you
Now we are one
Overflows your heart too
My heart and your heart
In unity
Together in love
For eternity

The joy I had
In planning your birth
Into this world
Onto this earth
Knowing who you would be
And what you would do
Planning to save you
Make you joyful too

The joy that took me
From heaven to earth
To be born as a child
A human birth
Leaving all of heaven’s
Power and glory
To reach out to you
Become part of your story

Know My love
The Joy I have in you
Now we are one
Overflows your heart too
My heart and your heart
In unity
Together in love
For eternity

The joy I had
In walking this earth
Loving others
As God’s true Son
Bringing hope and forgiveness
Healing and freedom
Heaven coming to earth
So you could come to heaven

The joy that kept me
Through trial and whipping
Kept me walking
To my crucifixion
Kept me nailed to the cross
As your sins I carried
Kept me trusting God
Even when I died

Know My love
The Joy I have in you
Now we are one
Overflows your heart too
My heart and your heart
In unity
Together in love
For eternity

The joy that raised me
From the dead
To live again
And reign at God’s side
With you beside me
Freed from sin
To be a Son of God
And with me One

Joy through sorrow and loss
Joy in the victory
That I gained for you and I
On calvary
All heaven’s blessings
Flowing in and through you
For what’s mine is now yours
We are one eternally

Know My love
The Joy I have in you
Now we are one
Overflows your heart too
My heart and your heart
In unity
Together in love
For eternity
