THE JOY OF HIM
THE JOY OF HIM
First performed in 1998 for my farewell Mass by St. Ann Church & Shrine Choir and St. Ann School School Choir (Metairie, LA)
Words by Edna Fontaine
Music by J. Roel Lungay
Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay
1
If only I could share with you
The joy He brings to me
For He has bound His heart to mine
To beat in harmony.
2
Because I've learned to follow Him
In everything He asks.
He casts away my little fears,
Makes easy all my tasks.
Refrain:
I've learned from Him what I must know
To live and share each day:
The gifts of faith and hope and love
He yearns to give away.
3
He talks with me and sits with me
Near waters that are still.
He asks of me to bring Him souls
To carry out His will.
(Repeat Refrain)
From the book, Nearer To Thee (1994)
