The Lord has filled me with joy,
Since you showed an interest;
And possible to deploy,
For some others to be blest.
For you were interested,
But never did get a chance;
To show wisdom invested,
Enabling you to advance.
I am not just saying this,
Because of being in need;
Rather I learned to have bliss,
When I spread the Gospel seed.
For I know just how to live,
As wealthy or being poor;
As well as accept or give,
To others for less or more.
To what the situation,
I have learned just how to live;
There is a revelation,
Merely how you can forgive.
Whether I maybe nourished,
Or when I hunger and thirst;
In famine or have flourished,
I will always put God first.
As long in Him I abide,
I can do everything;
For He will always provide;
As long as Christ is my King.
Any agony will cease,
For you in knowing the truth;
As your resources increase,
No longer to be uncouth.
Even though times maybe tough,
I feel as being fulfilled;
And I have more than enough,
Through the Lord I am instilled.
God will richly fill your need,
In such a glorious way;
As He will help you succeed,
Through each and every day.
