We've sown in tears
We've sown in grief
We've scattered seeds of broken hearted broken dreams
We've buried years
Of hurt down deep
But wait and see the winter frost will yield to spring
I know we're gonna, I know we're gonna
I know we're gonna, I know we're gonna
Reap that joy
Reap that joy of the Lord
As long as you're living, as long as you're breathing
Don't you ever stop, don't you ever give in
Reap that joy
Reap that joy of the Lord
Oh reap that joy
We've planted pain
We'll harvest hope
Isn't darkness where the garden starts to grow?
Up from the dirt
Up from the earth
There'll be resurrection rising like a rose
There'll be resurrection rising like a rose
I know we're gonna, I know we're gonna
I know we're gonna, I know we're gonna
Reap that joy
Reap that joy of the Lord
As long as you're living, as long as you're breathing
Don't you ever stop, don't you ever give in
Reap that joy
Reap that joy of the Lord
C'mon reap that joy
(Reap that joy of the Lord)
(Reap that joy of the Lord)
I know He's always working
Down underneath the surface
Whatever we buried
Will burst into life again
I know He's always working
Down underneath the surface
Whatever we buried
Will burst into life again
I know in Heaven's timing
We're going back to Eden
Where all that we buried
Will burst into life again
I know we're gonna, I know we're gonna
I know we're gonna, I know we're gonna
Reap that joy
Reap that joy of the Lord
As long as you're living, as long as you're breathing
Don't you ever stop, don't you ever give in
Reap that joy
Reap that joy of the Lord
Oh reap that joy
