You've turned it all around
Where I was hurting now I'm rejoicing
And in Your love I'm found and I have joy
Whoa
You took away my pain
You turned my mourning into dancing
I can smile again 'cause I have joy
Whoa
Let the celebration begin
Make a joyful noise unto Him
Come on everybody
Let's give Him praise for He is good
You have given me a joy that won't stop
And will never leave, so I will praise You with gladness
For You are good
You took away my pain
You turned my mourning into dancing
I can smile again 'cause I have joy
Let the celebration begin
Make a joyful noise unto Him
Come on everybody
Let's give Him praise for He is good
You have given me a joy that won't stop
And will never leave, so I will praise You with gladness
For You are good
You have given me a joy that won't stop
And will never leave, so I will praise You with gladness
For You are good
You've turned my sadness into gladness
You've turned my sorrow into joy
And now I'm singing and I'm dancing
And I will shout for joy
You've turned my sadness into gladness
You've turned my sorrow into joy
And now I'm singing and I'm dancing
And I will shout for joy
You've turned my sadness into gladness
You've turned my sorrow into joy
And now I'm singing and I'm dancing
And I will shout for joy
You have given me a joy that won't stop
And will never leave, so I will praise You with gladness
For You are good
You have given me a joy that won't stop
And will never leave, so I will praise You with gladness
For You are good
For You are good
For You are good
