THE OIL OF GLADNESS


Have you ever been anointed
With the oil of gladness
Have you ever felt that gladness
Down deep within your soul
Have you felt the joy of God
Rise up and just flow o'er you
Have you felt the joy of Jesus
Permeate your very soul

Have you ever felt that well
Spring up and you drank from it
Have you felt it as it flowed
Completely o'er your soul
Have you ever felt the joy
That comes alone from Jesus
From the Spirit that's within you
When you give Him full control

If you haven't, you can change it
You can feel this joy inside you
If you give your heart to Jesus
Let Him cleanse you from your sin
His Spirit will witness to you
That you are free in Jesus
Then you will feel the joy
As He ministers from within

This joy will remain with you
No matter what your day is like
It will stay inside you
As you go on your way
You will face any problem
Satan may bring to you
For the joy of Jesus
Will fill your heart each day
