JOY

Acrylic on paper, by Judith Woolley, 2008

I completed this during a time of experiencing deep joy, particularly as I returned to painting, discovering abstract art and anticipating the birth of my second son.

...God, your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions

Hebrews 1:9

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:17

I break a jar of oil and pour it on your feet in worship, in worship,

My life I freely give and pour it out to you in worship, in worship.

Let the fragrance of this love fill this place,

My deepest heart and highest praise, below to you,

Jesus, Jesus,

You are my first Love.
