A heart that’s filled with sadness
A soul that has a void
Can escape from the madness
And find blessings and great joy
This world is a very dark place
And sorrow reigns supreme
This world rejects God’s grace
And has no time or love for the King
There is joy for the heart that’s filled with sorrow
There is dancing for the feet that cannot walk
There is hope for today and for tomorrow
There is light that will lead us in the dark
This Joy is a gift of the Almighty
For those who have communion with his Son
A gift that will endure for eternity
A gift that fills our hearts with a new song
Oh Jesus, you are my joy eternal
You are the purpose of my life
I renounce my struggles and my strife
I submit to you, my loving Lord
I am diving into the river of your joy
That will lead me all the way to Heaven’s shore
A. G.
