I find joy in Jesus Because He lights my heart With kindness and love And so many good thoughts I find joy in Jesus Because He fills my soul With His tender mercies His assurance of honesty I find joy in Jesus Because He opens my mind To listen to sweet grace And never to my pride I find joy in Jesus Because He clears my thoughts Fills me up with compassion From the center of His mercies I find joy in Jesus Because He inspires my life To be stronger than the sin That tries to pull me in I find joy in Jesus Because He gives me hope Encouragement and reassurance That all my heart is His sculpture I find joy in Jesus Because He rains blessings down Pours out love in my heart And colors my world in elation I find joy in Jesus Because He lifts me up To heights of tender beauty Discovered in the spirit’s belief I find joy in Jesus Because He fills me up With faith that breathes insight To believe in His pure blood I find joy in Jesus Because I know He is alive Awaiting my entrance into heaven Where He is asking God for absolution I find joy in Jesus Because He is my best friend Without Him, I am nothing But an old, lost sinner again I find joy in Jesus Because His love is my hope The faith I have in His blood Assures me that I will live eternally I find joy in Jesus Because He is the One Who heals all my worries As I sing praises to His heart I find joy in Jesus Because He knows my heart Listens to my prayers Even fills my lungs with air I find joy in Jesus Because He lives in heaven Where He’s building my home A place to live forever and ever I find joy in Jesus Because He silences my dread Whispers laughter through my soul And reassures me that I’m His I find joy in Jesus Because love like His is alive Breathing inspiration and truth Through my heart, soul and spirit I find joy in Jesus Because He is my life Loving and listening with compassion That only He is capable of I find joy in Jesus Yes, I certainly do I find joy in Jesus He is my final truth
