The Joy of the Lord is the strength of my heart
And I?m singing my heart out again
You make me glad in the house of the Lord
And I?ll praise You again and again
The Joy of the Lord, is life in his presence
We are a people redeemed
Children of God, come sing to the Lord
And lift up your voices with me
Lift up your voices and sing
The joy of the Lord is the strength of my heart
And I?m singing my heart out again
You make me glad in the house of the Lord
And I?ll praise You again and again
The Joy of the Lord is the sound of deliverance
We are the ones He set free
People of God, come look to the Lord
And lift up your voices with me
Lift up your voices and sing
The joy of the Lord is the strength of my heart
And I?m singing my heart out again
You make me glad in the house of the Lord
And I?ll praise You again and again
So take off your sackcloth, shake off the ashes
Put on your garment of praise
Here comes the oil, the oil of gladness
Put on your garment of praise
So take off your sackcloth, shake off the ashes
Put on your garment of praise
Here comes the oil, the oil of gladness
Put on your garment of praise
Put on your garment of praise
So put on your garment of praise
The joy of the Lord is my strength
It?s carried me all of my days
No sorrow could steal what You gave
Cos I?ve got a garment of praise
The joy of the Lord is my strength
You?ve carried me all of my days
My sorrow I leave in the grave
So I?ll put on a garment of praise
The joy of the Lord is my strength
I?m singing my heart out again
I?m glad in the house of the Lord
So I?ll praise You again and again and again and
again
