The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!
