"And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
~ Isaiah 35:8-10 (NIV)

Those who walk the Holiness Highway wear the crown of gladness upon their heads.

and sorrow flees away.

I am blessed by Your hand of abundant riches. I am carried upon Your wings of deliverance. Hide me in the Rock of Your salvation. I breathe in the sweet fragrance of Your glory. My heart leaps with delight. Surely You are my only love. I need no other because You, oh Lord, fill my longings. You, oh Lord, satisfy my desires.
Pour down Your blessings upon me. Open the windows and doors of Your storehouse and shower Your many blessings upon me. Let the mantle of Your wisdom enshroud me. May the words I speak reveal the power and might of my Savior. Let love flow from me. Like the great and mighty waves of Your ocean, let Your love flow through me.
I glorify Your name. I sing praises to my God. You, alone are my glory and my delight. How is it that such a love has come to me? Surely I am blessed among all creation that the God of Holy Heaven chooses to take up fellowship with me. Surely I am blessed. I am unworthy to even speak Your name, but You choose to fellowship with me imparting all that You have to me.
How can I repay Your goodness? How can my gratitude be expressed? There is no way but to say, "Thank You my Lord. Thank You. I love You. I adore You and I revel in You presence."
Use me this day for Your honor and Your glory. Bless me with Your wisdom. Open my eyes to see Your hand. Loose my tongue to speak Your Word.
Thank You my glorious Lord! I love You!

I look up at You and know I am Your lamb.
I receive the best from the Great Shepherd.
Surely I am blessed. Surely I am loved.
When evil lurks about in the night like a predator
stalking to devour, I have no fear.
I continue walking forward because You are with me,
protecting and comforting me; gently tapping and prodding
me with Your rod of comfort and assurance.
Your staff glimmers in the moonlight assuring me
that I am safe, that You still lead me.
And though my enemies surround me,
You prepare a meal in their presence bidding me eat.
Your anointing flows over me as I feast.
I am filled to overflowing.
I delight myself in Your presence for I know that
should I live forever, there in Your house I shall find eternal goodness and kindness from You forevermore, my Shepherd.
