Joyful Contemplation
by Michael Doyle

Looking back on times I've had
I rejoice and find myself glad
I'm certain of things I believe
And I stand ready to receive

Knowing that God is wise and strong
And I am often weak and often wrong
I bless God's name with my praise
And will always do so in my days

Through the power of the Holy Spirit
I will exceed my mortal limits
Knowing that God is found in this place
And seeking the joy of the Lord to embrace

Since my redemption
I've not been the same
Here in my joyous contemplation
I will always praise His name
