Sufficiency of our Song

"Joseph said unto his brethren... Ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen... And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive" (Genesis 45:4-28).  "How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?" (Psalm 137:4).  "Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad" (Proverbs 12:25).  "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ... And who is sufficient for these things?" (2 Corinthians 2:14-16). 

By Joseph all joy was restored,

With proof that he yet was alive.

So likewise the song of the Lord

With joy in our heart should revive.

Our Savior is risen indeed! 

This reason to sing shall suffice,

Since Jesus has met our deep need

By paying redemption's great price! 

His grace is sufficient to lift

The heaviness found in our heart

As we have examined His gift

That He gave His life to impart. 

O Lord, as we think on these things,

We find Your sufficiency cheers

The heart which now joyfully sings,

As You wipe away all the tears.
