Joy writes my soul a song Song of hope, says I belong Belong to One who’s never wrong Wrong can’t destroy One so strong Strong, a spirit who tells of grace Grace for those who His light will embrace Embrace those who hope to see Him face to face Face of One whom time can never erase Erase the sins who have brought me down Down to the heartbeat that doubt can’t drown Drown out the darkness with His lovely crown Crown to remind us He will never cause us to frown Frown that comes from knowing sin is still Still telling our hearts to hear our own will Will of the Father is good and will always fulfill Fulfill the ones who know He gave us free will Free will comes with a promise of His grace Grace of this Jesus who always takes first place Place where I know that He’s watching the race Race for the precious joy of God’s sweet embrace Embrace of the love that calls me to believe Believe in the story so my soul will never grieve Grieve for the moment when Jesus I receive Receive in my spirit, His love my life’s reprieve Reprieve from the shadows, the doubt and fear Fear of the darkness when my souls sheds a tear Tear that comes to those whose love is sincere Sincere in believing Jesus, who will one day appear
