JOY
Joy exceeding, goodness abounds!
Such riches, they fill us, when His love surrounds
The joy of the Lord, is ours forever
For He gives to us as this world can never
The joy of the Lord, it is my strength
It lifts me up and goes great lengths
As I travel this long, worn road
The Lord goes with me, carries my load
Just to experience Your river of joy
My soul rejoices! Just like a little boy
A joy so rich, so pure, from above
A joy You gave to those You love
Oh Lord, my shepherd, what will I do
If one day I should find myself without You
I shudder to imagine, how it would be
A day so dark, without You with me
Lord, don't leave me, never forsake me
I am but nothing, without You in me
My life I yield, my soul I give
To You, my Lord, in whom I live
