Melody McCants - My Only Joy
My only joy
In this swiftly-passing world
Was to tread
The stony path of God
My only joy
In this swiftly-passing world
Was to endure hard tests
And all material griefs
For otherwise
This earthly life
Would prove
Barren and vain
For otherwise
Better would be death
Better would be death
The tree of being
Would produce no fruit
The sown field of this existence
Would yield no harvest
For otherwise
This earthly life
Would prove
Barren and vain
For otherwise
Better would be death
Better would be death
Thus it is my hope that once again
Some circumstance
Will make my cup to brim over
And that beauteous Love
That Slayer of souls
Will dazzle again
For otherwise
This earthly life
Would prove
Barren and vain
For otherwise
Better would be death
Then will this heart be blissful
This soul be blessed
This heart be blissful
This soul be blessed
Then will this heart be blissful
This soul be blessed
This heart be blissful
This soul be blessed
For otherwise
This earthly life
Would prove
Barren and Vain
For otherwise
Better would be death
