Happiness

Chloe and I have been singing a song on the way to school most mornings:

I've Got the Joy In My Heart

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart

Where?

Down in my heart!

Where?

Down in my heart!

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart

Down in my heart to stay

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

Down in my heart

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.

I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus

Down in my heart

Where?

Down in my heart!

Where?

Down in my heart!

I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus

Down in my heart

Where?

Down in my heart to stay.

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

Down in my heart

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.

And if the Devil doesn't like it

He can sit on a tack!

Ouch!

Sit on a tack!

Ouch!

Sit on a tack!

And if the Devil doesn't like it

He can sit on a tack!

Ouch!

Sit on a tack to stay!

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

Down in my heart

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.

Having joy and happiness is so important. It helps you to stay grounded in the truth, which is God's word. It helps others as well. If you show happiness, others around you will feel that joyful feeling! This is a children song, but if we all sing this when we feel the urge to get a little angry or frustrated, then we can feel the joy and happiness that only the Lord can provide! The next time I have sad, hurtful, angry, or frustrating feeling approaching, I will be humming or singing this song - please don't think I am totally insane, I am just trying to have the love and joy of Jesus in my heart...LOL!
