Mirth?
Not at the court
or on the field,
forget the merger,
any and all
great appointments,
just remember
those days
when we surrendered:
He made our peculiar
into great artists,
the finest
composers, musicians,
painters, teachers,
eloquent orators,
all for Him,
all for His use.
We skipped about,
laughed,
happily sparked our lamps
atop the tallest hills;
shining ever so brightly
happy, alive,
in love...
those were our glory years:
when the Joy of the Lord
was our strength.
Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us
required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

there's always a better reason to love
