Joy Is in Our Hearts...

I've been listening to Sara Groves' latest album Fireflies and Songs, and I thought of you, Meek & Quiet Ladies, when I heard "Joy Is in Our Hearts." In case it's new to you, too, here are the lyrics copied from Sara's website:

we were pressed on every side
full of fear and troubled thoughts
for good reason we carried heavy hearts

it is good to come together
in our friendship to remember
all the reasons hope is in our hearts

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

now with patience in our suffering
perseverance in our prayers
with good reason this hope is in our hearts

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

oh we saw the face of Angels
many good things well secured
for good reason this joy is in our hearts

hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength
hallelujah hallelujah
Christ our joy and strength

for good reason joy is in our hearts

I mentioned when I left our meeting in May that I wouldn't be able to attend in June due to our vacation. Well... I hadn't looked at the calendar! There are five Tuesdays in June, so the fourth Tuesday will be June 22. Mark your calendars... we'll study Chapter 3, "Fear and Worry." I look forward to seeing you then!

In Christ alone,
