O Butchered, Breathless Joy

Written By Vernon Naron

Joy
Without gladness
Without happiness
Without laughter
Is butchered

Joy
Without pleasure
Without purpose
Without peace
Is breathless

O butchered, breathless joy
You fabricate a falsity
O butchered, breathless joy
You bind us with sadness
For yours are the circumstances of this world

But true Joy
Lasting Joy
Conquering Joy
Satisfying Joy
Yours are the circumstances in Christ

Be joyful always - 1 Thess 5:16
