Joy

Jesus came to a world in mourning
and brought light and life

On the day that he was born
the Father knew the coming strife

Yes His back would be scourged
His hands and feet pierced
death would appear to have its day
but oh the joy of exultation
when he would stand at God's right hand
and every knee would bow
"Jesus, King of Kings be praised!"

~~~

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

(Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV, emphasis added)
