The final word of the martyred Watchman Nee was I”I have kept my JOY”. What the joy he had kept are these twenty four faithful items in this hymn. May we all keep this Joy of joys, Christ is our everything!

Lord Jesus, You are the joy of joys.
Remind me Lord of every outward joy. Cause my heart not to be drifted. Cause my heart not to veiled. Cause my heart not to be deceived.
Behind every person, matter or situation, the real joy is just You oh Lord. You are the reality of every need and every virtue. Thank You Lord for this hymn, for reminding me. Fully-Christ-centered.
