JOY
I want joy-my heart my soul yearns for joy
A constant search through the activities of life
Fear stalks me-running so hard to stay ahead
Today tomorrow the next day joy takes a back seat
Life overwhelms me and mistakenly I claim
Success as the key-it’s not- simply sidetracked me
Power sought- claimed- acquired-so empty it burdened me
Fear stalks me-running so hard to stay ahead
I heard an old old story-it reached the marrow of my soul
About a Savior born in Bethlehem-He came for me
God stepped into my world, our world and identified with me
Sin overwhelms me and mistakenly I think I can deal with it
Today sins my neighbor tomorrow its my landlord
Jesus came to set me free-to set each one of us free
He is Lord, Lord of all, victor, conqueror, deliverer: He loves you and me
I want joy-my heart my soul yearns for joy
Jesus points me to His Word-He speaks of joy 365 times
Jesus knew I needed salvation of my soul
His salvation brings joy to me-to us
I asked Him into my heart-He forgave me of my sin
He lives in me-His peace pervades me
All the days that lie ahead-my heart is filled with Christ
He has all power in heaven and on earth-the victory has been won
Nothing can separate us, nothing can defeat us- Jesus brings joy to my life
I have joy- Jesus is alive in me
