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
