Joy Shakes the Earth
by Jeanne Fuller
Joy shakes the earth
And heaven opens wide
To show us innocence inside.
In this splendor
Surrender heart, and gaze
As love descends
Ablaze with golden light.
Joy shakes the earth
And rocks the child within
Rock, rock to comfort him.
A mother's arms enfold
The Jesus child
Cuddled in protective robe.
His baby coo shall future voice
Salvation's news, Rejoice.
Our voices sound
Crescendo grows,
Reverberates from shore to sea
The foretold prophesy.
Swing, twirl, lift
Ours the gift.
Take child, take joy
And dance in adoration
To celebrate the holy birth
And joy shall shake the earth.
