The song that is so close to a princess heart.

True Worshippers
Worship

JESUS YOU
YOU HOLD THE WORLD WITH YOUR UNFAILING LOVE
THE HEAVENS SING YOUR PRAISES FROM ABOVE
IN YOUR NAME LIPS SHALL PRAISE AND KNEES SHALL BOW

FATHER YOU
THE UNIVERSE EXALTS IN WHO YOU ARE THE STARS DECLARE YOUR WONDERS FAR AND WIDE
HOW MAJESTIC IS YOUR LOVE THROUGHOUT MY LIFE

IN YOU I FIND MY PEACE
IN YOU I BEND MY KNEE

YOU ARE LORD OF HEAVEN
YOU SHALL REIGN IN ALL THE EARTH
I HUMBLY BOW BEFORE YOUR MAJESTY
AND I'LL SING YOUR PRAISES
AND I WILL SING FOREVERMORE
I'M CAPTIVATED BY YOUR LOVE IN ME

Play!!

Playfulness is an art never to be lost.

It is said we do not stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing. “If others are laughing, laugh along with them. Let it catch you. Get infected.”

The bible has always contained the verse:
“A merry heart does good, like a medicine. But a broken spirit dries the bones”
(Prov 17:22)

Even the Middle Ages mystic Francis of Assisi, who is invariably portrayed as a serious-minded devotee, sees the value of mirth; “When we who are servants of Christ stand in the centre of the devil’s cloud of doubt and accusation and instead of breathing this choking dust refresh ourselves in the water of God’s joy until it overflows even in holy laughter – then not a single demon can harm us in any way.”

Postponing joy until something happens to justify happiness guarantees a miserable life.

Joy is within right now.
