Uncontained Joy

“The Lord alone is our radiant hope and we trust in him with all our hearts. His wrap-around presence will strengthen us. As we trust, we rejoice with an uncontained joy flowing from Yahweh!” Psalms 33:20-21 TPT

Lord you are my radiant hope
I trust in You with all my heart

You wrap me in your Presence
I am surrounded by your love
You are with me day and night
You are my hiding place, my might.

Lord you are my radiant hope
I trust in You with all my heart

Your Presence strengthens me
So I can stand against my foes
You are my victory
As your essence in me flows

Lord you are my radiant hope
I trust in You with all my heart

As I learn to trust in You
Learn to rest in your Presence
And abide in Your embrace
Your joy becomes my essence

Lord you are my radiant hope
I trust in You with all my heart

The uncontained joy
That You have in my salvation
Flows freely into me
Becoming my joy and my passion

Lord you are my radiant hope
I trust in You with all my heart

You Wrap Me In Your Glory

“Then he broke through and transformed all my wailing into a whirling dance of ecstatic praise! He has torn the veil and lifted from me the sad heaviness of mourning. He wrapped me in the glory garments of gladness. How could I be silent when it’s time to praise you? Now my heart sings out loud, bursting with joy— a bliss inside that keeps me singing, “I can never thank you enough!”” Psalms 30:11-12 TPT

In Your Presence Lord
Sadness cannot linger
Grief loses it’s hold
For Your Glory is greater
For

You wrap me in Your Glory
Your garment of gladness
In Your Presence is pure joy
And with praise I embrace it!

There are many ways
In which this world brings me sorrow
Man’s inhumanity to man
Cast’s a gloomy shadow
But

You wrap me in Your Glory
Your garment of gladness
In Your Presence is pure joy
And with praise I embrace it!

There are days of grief
Where sorrow could overwhelm me
Friends or family lost
Dreams and hopes come to zero
But

You wrap me in Your Glory
Your garment of gladness
In Your Presence is pure joy
And with praise I embrace it!

There are days of sickness
Where I cannot see the light
My hope for tomorrow
Obscured in the fight
But

You wrap me in Your Glory
Your garment of gladness
In Your Presence is pure joy
And with praise I embrace it!

In all of my troubles
Your Presence never leaves me
You are my hiding place
Where I find hope and healing
For

You wrap me in Your Glory
Your garment of gladness
In Your Presence is pure joy
And with praise I embrace it!

I want to take this gift
Of Your glory and gladness
And live in it always
Rejoicing in Your Presence
For

You wrap me in Your Glory
Your garment of gladness
In Your Presence is pure joy
And with praise I embrace it!

I can never thank You
Thank You enough!
I can never thank You
Thank You enough!

I Am Here

“Because you are close to me and always available, my confidence will never be shaken, for I experience your wrap-around presence every moment. My heart and soul explode with joy—full of glory! Even my body will rest confident and secure. For you bring me a continual revelation of resurrection life, the path to the bliss that brings me face-to-face with you.” Psalms 16:8-9, 11 TPT

Jesus:
I Am here with you always
You’re in My wrap around Presence
Take My joy in our unity
And let it be your life’s essence

Receive the flow of revelation
Of My resurrection life
Filling your body
Raising you to My side

It was My delight in you
My joy in your presence
That kept me going through the cross
So we could be co-resurrected

It’s My desire and My delight
To raise you to My Kingdom’s height
To be one with you forever
My heart’s desire and My brother

Let the joy that I sing
Over you each day
Be your heart’s song
As you go on your way

With joy I embrace you
Fill your life with My grace
That you might see the love I have for you
Written on My face

Embrace My Glory that will fill
Your heart and soul with joy
As you experience My Presence
And rest confident, secure

The Light of Your Face

“Lord, … Let the light of your radiant face break through and shine upon us! The intense pleasure you give me surpasses the gladness of harvest time, even more than when the harvesters gaze upon their ripened grain and when their new wine overflows.” Psalms 4:6b-7 TPT

Of ripened grain
There is joy in his heart
That from the earth and rain
A fine crop has grown
A harvest of gain

Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more

Overflowing with new wine
There is joy in his heart
That from the earth and rain
A fine crop has grown
And a fine wine is made

Shines upon me
The joy that fills my heart
Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more

A beautiful new home
There is joy in his heart
That his creation is done
And people will be blessed
By making it their home

Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
The sweet beauty of Your essence
Is all I need and so much more

A song that’s full of joy

Is a greater thing in deed
The power of Your Presence
Your love, Your peace, Your joy
