Joy In the Lord

You won't find joy in what you have,
    you won't find joy in wealth.
You will find joy in Jesus Christ
    and not in love of self.

There is always joy in the Lord,
    there is joy in being free.
If you love Jesus there is joy in His word,
    I have found joy Lord, in Thee.

It is said, "Joy comes in the morning"
    And joy turns darkness to light.
The love of the Lord and His gift of joy 
    make all our tomorows seem bright.

Joy is a glorious feeling
    of gratitude and delight.
A flame that is constantly burning,
    A flame only God can ignite.
