this is what You do. [part 2]

You restore joy. 
[true, everlasting joy]

You dissolve cancer cells into powerless nothingness. 
[do it again]
[and again]
[and again]
[and...]

This is what You do.

You take away headaches and give deep rest.
[this causes dancing in the driveway at work]
  
 You change our countenance.
[it's noticeable]

You wake us up and get us outta bed.
[the snooze button has lost its appeal]

You make us dance and jump around with no reservations.
[it's FUN]

This is what You do.     

You freely extend hope to us...whole cities...nations...all generations...
[receive, receive, receive]
  
You speak to us.
[You have outstanding things to say]

This is what You do.

You love. 
[like, for real love...that changes everything]

You turn hearts back to You.
[not forcibly, but by an indescribable compelling presence]

You dig wells that spring up fountains that never run dry.
[once we drink of what you offer, there's no settling for backwash any longer]
  
This is what You do.

You make life worth living.
[fully]
[now]
