Day 1 – Defend Joy

God save my chuckling soul
Weak as paper fluttering in cold air
Thin
God save my soul
My sigh and gasping way

Please grasp my joy
My soul, my joy

God save my laugh
If laughter rise to thee
Laugh weak but long
Laugh strong, my song

God save my laughter
Protect my thankful soul
Redeemed, I often pray to be
Protected, I only hope in thee

My desperate hours
When quiet settles, and the events of note are through
Those lonely breaths when there are only dishes left to do
My fearful thoughts
When my habit is to pray, in a way, to me
Don’t abandon me, as I would if I were you

Save my child heart
As only heroes do

God take my soul
My feet, my dream, my me
God save my song
Where e’er it be
