Lyrics

The world didn’t give it

And it can’t take it away

What’s down in my soul

Joy that won’t let go


In every season

It will never fade

What’s down in my soul

Joy that won’t let go


Darkness may come

Storms may rage

One thing’s for sure, this I know


The joy of the Lord is my strength

The louder I sing the more joy You bring 

The joy of the Lord is my strength

Weeping may come but it won’t steal my joy


I’ve tasted and seen 

Of the real thing

What’s down in my soul

Joy that won’t let go


The garment of praise

On my heavy hands

What’s down in my soul

Joy that won’t let go


Darkness may come

Storms may rage

One thing’s for sure, this I know


The joy of the Lord is my strength

The louder I sing the more joy You bring 

The joy of the Lord is my strength

Weeping may come but it won’t steal my joy


The joy of the Lord is my strength

The louder I sing the more joy You bring 

The joy of the Lord is my strength

Weeping may come but it won’t steal my joy


O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

Hallelujah


Joy like the river

I feel it rising

Come overtake us

Hallelujah


You turn my mourning into dancing

My sorrow into singing

Shout it out louder

Hallelujah


O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

Hallelujah


Joy like the river

I feel it rising

Come overtake us

Hallelujah


You turn my mourning into dancing

My sorrow into singing

Shout it out louder

Hallelujah


O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

O the joy of the Lord is my strength

Hallelujah


Joy like the river

I feel it rising

Come overtake us

Hallelujah


You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing

You turn my mourning into dancing


Joy like the river

I feel it rising

I feel it rising

I feel it rising


Joy like the river

I feel it rising

Come overtake us

Hallelujah
