To tell the truth, this world is full of trouble
And if we live long enough it's sure to come our way
We've a choice to walk in fear and trembling
Or claim the victory that's already ours this very day
I choose joy
I'll never let the problems keep me down
'Cause the Lord is working all things out
For my good
I choose joy
So when I wake and stumble to the mirror
And what I see make me wish
That I could stay in bed
There's a power deep within my being
And it commands my soul to
Praise the Lord with every breath
I choose joy
I'll never let the problems keep me down
'Cause the Lord is working all things out
For my good
I choose joy
So when I find myself under a load
Of circumstance and care
God wants to know
What I'm doing under there
I choose joy
I'll never let the problems keep me down
'Cause the Lord is working all things out
For my good
I choose joy
