I?ve got joy in the struggle

I?ve got peace in the storm

I?ve got strength in the battle

I don?t fear anymore

I?m a child of heaven

And my hope is secure

I?ve got joy cause I?ve got Jesus


He gave me beauty for ashes

Turned my life around

He broke my chains 

And now I dance on solid ground

For all He?s done to save me

I will raise my voice

I?ve got Jesus

So I?ve got joy


He bore all of my burdens

Yeah my debt has been paid

Then He said to my dry bones

Rise up out of that grave

He has all of my worship

All the honor and praise

I?ve got joy cause I?ve got Jesus


He gave me beauty for ashes

Turned my life around

He broke my chains 

And now I dance on solid ground

For all He?s done to save me

I will raise my voice

I?ve got Jesus

So I?ve got 


Joy like a river running through my soul

Joy all around me everywhere I go

Even in the desert still it overflows

Oh I?ve got joy

Yeah I?ve got 

Joy never-ending cause He called my name

Every breath I?m breathe a testament of amazing grace

Oh hallelujah everything has changed

Oh I?ve got joy

Yeah I?ve got joy


He gave me beauty for ashes

Turned my life around

He broke my chains 

And now I dance on solid ground

For all He?s done to save me

I will raise my voice

I?ve got Jesus

So I?ve got joy


Joy like a river running through my soul

Joy all around me everywhere I go

Even in the desert still it overflows

I?ve got Jesus

So glad I have Him

I?ve got Jesus

So I?ve got joy
