Remember Joy

Remember joy?
It came so many times.
The open field reminded you of praise.

Come back to Me,
Your feet have worn that
distant road too long.
I never left our home,
I’m waiting gladly,
soon to hear your voice.
Come speak with Me,
Forget the things you’ve learned.
Don’t be a slave in foreign lands,
Remember joy!

Remember joy
that made you strong.
If you are far from home,
Why not come home?
