*****
What a joy is it to have you Lord?
To know when all falls, I can look above
In the depth of my sorrow I see joy
Beholding the one who grants me true joy
The joy of having a Savior
*****
When I walk in darkness I see light
In sorrow I find happiness
And when I should cry I but laugh
For I know the secret behind true joy
The joy springing to eternal joy
*****
What more joy can there be than to be forgiven
To know that the Lord counts no sin as mine
To know of a hope too amazing to comprehend
Of the Savior who died for my wretchedness
That such a vile soul becomes an everlasting saint
*****
I could have nothing but this hope only
Yet in this I have everything more than I can tell
What a joy, how privileged am I?
How privileged are they who are called by Jesus name?
Never was there a people so lucky.
*****
Help me Lord to remember what I have in you
To know that you are my joy and treasure
That in the darkness of the world I have found light
And in tears you have given me laughter
The outflow of unending joy in you
