A Volunteer's Joy

When I give my time in service
With no paycheck ever reaped
When joy is but the blessing I receive
I count it all a worth of gold
To simply volunteer and be a servant
Someone, somewhere, somehow, sometime needs

When I give my heart to love
When it's not required of me
Joy is the grandest blessing I receive
For many hearts both near and far
What money cannot buy
Will soon embrace the love that comes from me

So I choose to give my time and heart
That others may be blessed
And for such joy I express to God
My abundant thankfulness
