I've got the joy of the Lord

Flowing over in my soul

I've got the joy of the Lord

Bringing me peace

There is no shadow of doubt

That His love can't cast out

I've got the joy of the Lord

Living in me



Circumstance can break a man

Or set that same man free

I have learned I must be content

With what You have planned for me

Like Paul, I guess I'm sayin'

I'm gonna keep on prayin'

That everyone can see



Sand inside an hourglass

Has nowhere else to go

And like that sand

I'm just plain useless

If I don't let the whole world know

That Jesus in His precious love

Gave His life and that's enough

To plant a seed of hope and watch it grow
