Joy Doesn't Always Laugh

Joy Doesn't Always Laugh

You're afraid of the future
and scarred from the past

The day brings comfort
that you know cannot last

Your life is in pieces
and you mourn over glass

Reflecting a world that
you can never bring back

You fall because that's
what you know how to do

So close in his arms
He holds onto you

But Joy presses on
and Joy has hope

Joy know the times
when God has spoke

Spoke promises of care
and of holding you up

Strong in the nights that
your smile is not enough

When laughter has gone and
the tears begin to flow

When sorrow and loss and
pain is all that you know

God speaks of Joy when
the grief makes you choke

He waits and he knows
that your life has been broke

Gently He shows you
that some day you'll rise

but for now sometimes...

Sometimes Joy Cries
