Joy at CHRISTMAS

Introduction: This song resonates in our hearts this time of year.
 

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
 

1. Jesus has JOY like a well! (Isa 12:3)

“3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

His JOY bubbles up like a river!
 
 

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
 
 

2. The JOY of Jesus is our STRENGTH! (Neh 8:10)

“… for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

A JOYFUL heart is like medicine.

 

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

 

3. In His Presence is fulness of JOY! (Psa 16:11)

“… : in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

Jesus is JOY. Has JOY. GIVES JOY.

 

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.
 
 

Conclusion: All we have to do is ask Jesus for His JOY! (John 16:24)

“24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

Will you ask Jesus for His JOY? Then ENJOY, His JOY!
