You Can Choose Joy

Giver of life, Creator of all that is lovely,
Teach me to sing the words to Your song;
I want to feel the music of living
And not fear the sad songs
But from them make new songs
Composed of both laughter and tears.

Teach me to dance to the sounds of Your world and Your people,
I want to move in rhythm with Your plan,
Help me to try to follow Your leading
To risk even falling
To rise and keep trying
Because You are leading the dance.
