This Joy

The joy of the Lord is your strength the prophet has said

So lift up your voice and sing raise up from your bed

Here he comes the sun of righteousness with healing in His wings

This joy! This joy! This joy! Our praises to the Lord it brings

He comes to fill us with his joy so we are overflowing

To go about doing good and take joy where-ever we are going

There is a well of joy He is calling us to, waiting to restore

This joy! This joy! I will drink from his well forever more!

This joy of mine is fulfilled for I have heard the Bride-Groom’s voice

I have chosen to follow Him daily I have made my choice

This joy of His salvation is calling you by name

If you are broken, hurt, sick or even lame

Come to this well of joy you will never be the same

When we follow in His ways do not think it boring and dull

The things has He spoken to us, he spoke that our joy may be full

Oh when we choose the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords

This joy! This joy! This joy!  Oh listen to His words

He is coming for His bride without wrinkle or a spot

This joy! This joy! This joy! For our battle has been fought

Don’t you know that we have won this joy! This joy!  This joy! Praise God for our victory!
