Love, Joy, Sink Into My Heart

Racked with the memory

Of my many sins

I confessed my life's story

To God, from within

So harrowed up in sorrow

I prayed until it was tomorrow

In an instant the pain was gone

I felt to sing the Redeemer's song

Love... Joy... sank into my heart
And contained every chamber
Warm it softened what was hard
That I might feel my Savior

I cried out and Thou answered

I feel changed by Thy Son

I prayed for those dark with anger

In an instant, love within me sung

The atonement is real

It is something you can feel

It changes you within

On your heart, love is written

I keep thinking about Alma- when he was harrowed up in sorrow for sin and wished to have not even existed.  In an instant this pain was gone when he remembered what he once knew.  

1. Enos 1: 3
     3 Behold, I went to hunt beasts in the forests; and the words which I had often heard my father speak concerning eternal life, and the ^ajoy of the saints, ^bsunk deep into my heart.
