Shouting Joy

The Word shouts joy,
    Unbridled joy,
     Filling up joy,
     Running over,
     Pouring down,
     Puddling joy,
All over the ground.

A joy that washes,
     Not part, but all,
     Completely,
     Nothing left,
     Washed clean,
     Soul and body,
Cleaner than new.

Life giving joy,
     Not just laughter,
     But hope,
     And love,
     Lasting,
     Transforming,
Inside and out.

(John 15:11)
