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
