Always Keep A Merry Heart

Always keep a merry heart

As you stroll down life’s highway

A little laughter “doeth good”

I’ve learned it along the way

It helps to keep your burdens light

It brightens up your world

When confusion that’s sure to come

And set your mind awhirl

Always keep a merry heart

So that all the world may know

That you are a happy Christian

Matters not where you may go

Toils and trials may beset you

The devil’s foot gets in the door

With lightened heart within you

There’s no time for him to score

Always keep a merry heart

You’ll enjoy your children more

Share the joys that go unnoticed

That you have never shared before

Be a light to all who see you

To show it’s great to be God’s child

Even when troubles surround you

Search your heart and find a smile

Always keep a merry heart

Because the Lord has set you free

Share the laughter God has given

Be as kind as you can be

When you walk into a crowd

Wear a smile so that it shows

With the Love of God inside you

They may often see a glow

Take comfort in the Blessings

In this sin tossed world we live

Always keep a bright prospective

With heartfelt love for you to give

I realize you can’t be merry

Every hour of every day

But if you keep a merry heart

Life will be brighter on the way
