Is it really so mysterious how to take joy so serious?
Do I believe at length the joy of the Lord is my strength?
Does joy mean humor or is that a rumor?
Is there a method to this "madness"?
Is my humor really sadness?
The Lord puts laughter in our mouth from His "north" to our "south".
Does this cause our "south" to rise again?
Is this where our resurrection of joy begins?
Is this a question I ask of men?
Is such a time my faith becomes kin?
Kin in such a way that I learn to hate sin?
Does hating sin remove the fun?
Taking joy so serious becomes pleasure in being a daughter or a son.
