Everlasting Joy

Where I once was weeping, laughter fills the skies
From my disappointments comes a sweet surprise
Foolish heart once left for dead has come alive
All because of everlasting joy
Like a loser rescued from a game of chance
Where my feet once stumbled, I have learned to dance
From my crimes of passion comes a true romance
All because of everlasting joy

Watching the sadnеss
Turn into gladness

Like a fire in thе wind
Like a flood rushing in
Day by day living in
In the joy of the Lord
Such divine energy
Flowing full, flowing free
Ever strong, everlasting joy

Gone and long forgotten is my guilt and pain
All they said was total loss has turned to gain
Story of confusion now is clear and plain
All because of everlasting joy
Take my money right down to my last thin dime
Take me for granted, you can take my time
Take me for a ride, take anything you see
I am sure that there will always be

Joy so completely
Rising to greet me

Like a fire in the wind
Like a flood rushing in
Day by day living in
In the joy of the Lord
Such divine energy
Flowing full, flowing free
Strength is moving through me
In the joy of the Lord

Like a fire in the wind
Like a flood rushing in
Day by day living in
In the joy of the Lord
Such divine energy
Flowing full, flowing free
Ever strong, everlasting joy

All that He gives to me
No one can ever steal away
As long as He lives in me
Nothing can take the place
Never can erase
This unsurpassing
Ever strong, everlasting joy

Watching the sadness
Turn into gladness

Like a fire in the wind
Like a flood rushing in
Day by day living in
In the joy of the Lord
Such divine energy
Flowing full, flowing free
Strength is moving through me
In the joy of the Lord...
