Oil of Gladness

To my fellow Christians who have been hurt by the result of our first automated national election, let’s us all be reminded that we may be losers in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of our God we are more than victorious!

You have given me

The oil of gladness,

A garment of praise

Instead of mourning

A shining crown instead of ashes,

And glory in the face of despair.

 

I delight greatly in you

My soul rejoices and sings.

For you took my empty life

And filled it with every good thing!

 

You have given me

The oil of gladness,

A garment of praise

Instead of mourning

A shining crown instead of ashes,

And glory in the face of despair.

 

When my life was without purpose

You gave me a reason to live.

Now my heart is full of thanksgiving

For all the riches you give!

 

You have given me

The oil of gladness,

A garment of praise

Instead of mourning

A shining crown instead of ashes,

And glory in the face of despair.
