Always Enough for Joy

Holy Experience: Always Enough for Joy

YouTube - Amy Grant - Shine All Your Light




Here under heaven's eyes,
down under paradise,
sometimes it seems like we're so small.
Here on the shores that reach
into infinity,
how could we matter much at all?
Would it be enough
if each of us would give our love?
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
and shine all your light in the sun.
We live to learn to love.
Oh, mercy from above.
Amazing grace, like rain comes falling down.
We sing our hearts to you,
our song of gratitude.
The voice of ev'ry soul,
how sweet the sound.
We can only trust
all our prayers will all add up.
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
and shine all your light in the sun.
Would it be enough
if each of us would give our love?
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
and shine all your light in the sun.

USCCB - NAB - Psalm 119

3 I will run the way of your commands, for you open my docile heart.
33
LORD, teach me the way of your laws; I shall observe them with care.
34
Give me insight to observe your teaching, to keep it with all my heart.
35
Lead me in the path of your commands, for that is my delight.
36
Direct my heart toward your decrees and away from unjust gain.
37
Avert my eyes from what is worthless; by your way give me life.
38
For your servant fulfill your promise made to those who fear you.
39
Turn away from me the taunts I dread, for your edicts bring good.
40
See how I long for your precepts; in your justice give me life.
41
Let your love come to me, LORD, salvation in accord with your promise.
42
Let me answer my taunters with a word, for I trust in your word.
43
Do not take the word of truth from my mouth, for in your edicts is my hope.
44
I will keep your teachings always, for all time and forever.
45
I will walk freely in an open space because I cherish your precepts.
46
I will speak openly of your decrees without fear even before kings.
47
I delight in your commands, which I dearly love.
