Laugh


The LORD asked Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh? Does she doubt that she can have a child in her old age?

But let me run loose and free, celebrating God's great work, Every bone in my body laughing, singing, "God, there's no one like you.

I'm thanking you, God, from a full heart, I'm writing the book on your wonders. I'm whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I'm singing your song, High God.

It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, when God returned Zion's exiles. We laughed, we sang, we couldn't believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the nations— "God was wonderful to them!" God was wonderful to us; we are one happy people.

Likewise I, God, will comfort Zion, comfort all her mounds of ruins. I'll transform her dead ground into Eden, her moonscape into the garden of God, A place filled with exuberance and laughter, thankful voices and melodic songs.

After a lifetime in the dark, the blind will see. The castoffs of society will be laughing and dancing in God, the down-and-outs shouting praise to The Holy of Israel.

Genesis 18:13 Psalm 35:9 Psalm 9:1 Psalm 126:1 Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah 29:17

He who laughs last laughs best!
