The Secret

The Secret

My heart is full of laughter,

My lips are full of song;

I'm praising God, my Father,

The whole day long.

My life is full of sunshine,

My soul is full of light;

There is joy in simple living,

The world's so bright.

My days are full of gladness,

My nights are full of joy;

While living in His presence,

Trials don't annoy.

My work is only pleasure,

My burdens light to bear;

While walking with the Father

All days are fair.

I've felt the pangs of sorrow,

I've known the night of pain;

With nothing in tomorrow

To live was vain.

One night I met the Father,

That night I learned to live;

My joy is not in getting,

But in what I give.
