Jesus, My Joy
Jesus is the joy of my life, full of grace and truth
His love was pure and holy, giving his all
For the sin of the world. I accepted him in my youth.
My life was irrevocably changed when I heard his call
I adore Jesus, for he gives hope to all who are lost
Those who accept his wonderful gift shall never fall.
Faith is “Forgetting All, I Trust Him,” whatever the cost
Believing in Jesus, I know a peace that passes serenity
Throughout eternity my soul will never be tempest-tossed.
Having salvation is the goal, life’s supreme amenity
To know that I am safe throughout all eternity.
