Greater Joy
My heart has found a greater joy
More strong than what I see or feel
My eyes have seen a better world
Though heavenly, still near and real
My strength comes not from earthly means
From wealth that flees, or man who dies
My might comes from the ceaseless fount
Of living waters He supplies
My eyes have seen a better way
Though narrow and hard-pressed it be
My eyes are fixed on Zion's mount
Where I shall live eternally
My heart has found a better life
Than living for my selfish gain
My soul has found a kinder Lord
And I shall ever serve Him fain
My soul has found a lasting peace
Through pain it stands—sent from above
My ears have heard a sweeter song
Of priceless, covenantal love
My eyes have seen a fairer place
A portion beautiful is mine
My heart has made the better choice
Surrendering to His design
