Maverick City Music's 'Joy of the Lord' is a worship song that declares supernatural joy as a source of strength, even in difficult seasons. The lyrics speak of drawing joy from heaven's reserve, trusting God's presence in the valley, and looking forward to future glory. The song emphasizes that this joy is not based on circumstances but is an inheritance from God. It references the hope of seeing Christ face to face and the promise that He will wipe away every tear. The repeated chorus anchors the message that the joy of the Lord is the believer's strength.

Verse 1

I'm pulling on joy from Heaven's reserve

He?s stored up enough for every winter I?m served

I?m seeing beyond my circumstance

This joy that I have is my inheritance

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord  

 

Chorus

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

Oh oh oh He is my hope

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength 

 

Verse 2 

There is a Savior in the valley place

He?s walking beside me and He knows my pain 

God, the beginning and the end

God right there in the midst of it

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord 

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord 

 

Chorus

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

Oh oh oh He is my hope

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength 

 

Bridge  

There?s gonna be glory

There?s gonna be glory

There will be glory after this

 

No need to worry

this present suffering

There will be glory after this

 

Chorus

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

Oh oh oh He is my hope

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength 

 

Verse 3  

There is a King seated on His throne

Prepared a place that I?ll call my home 

There I will see Him face to face

He?ll wipe every tear from my face

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord 

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord 

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord

Joy, this is the joy of the Lord   

   

 

Chorus

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength

Oh oh oh He is my hope

The joy, the joy, the joy of the Lord is my strength
