Joy comes from Christ

Joy comes from keeping Christ’s commandments, from overcoming sorrow and weakness through Him, and from serving as He served.
D. Todd Christofferson

Steady on, my headstrong soul;
to Christ alone I cede control.
To learn submissiveness I need
obedience in word and deed.
When sorrow weakens my belief,
to Him I turn for whole relief.
I'll strive forevermore to serve
as did He with love and verve.
Sometimes I quail before the task;
have patience, Lord, is all I ask.
Profitless as servant, surely;
still, I'll strive both late and early!
