5/15 - Joy!

SCRIPTURE- John 16:22"But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you."REFLECTION- Sr. KathleenMUSIC- Psalm 63- Francesca LaRosa- Jesu, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (Lyrics) sung by Josh Grobin1. Jesu, Joy of Man’s DesiringHoly wisdom, love most bright2. Drawn by Thee our souls aspiringSoar to uncreated light3. Word of God, our flesh that fashioned.With the fire of life impassioned.Striving still to truth unknownSoaring, dying round Thy throne4. Through the way where hope is guiding,Hark, what peaceful music rings.5. Where the flock in Thee confiding,Drink of joy from deathless springs.6. Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure,Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure.Thou dost ever lead Thine own,In the love of joys unknown.NOTES-PRAYER OF LETTING GOTo You do I belong, O God, into Your hands I surrender my life. Pour out Your Spirit upon me that I may love You perfectly, and serve You faithfully until my soul rests in You.
