Greg X. Volz - Jesus Is... the Joy of Living lyrics

Words and music: Alfred H. Ackley (1887) Jesus is... the joy of living, He's the King of life to me Unto Him my all I'm giving, His forevermore to be I will do what He commands me Anywhere He leads, I'll go Jesus is... the joy of living He's the dearest Friend I know I have found a wondrous Saviour Jesus Christ, the soul's delight Every blessing of His favor Fills my heart with hope so bright Life is growing rich with beauty Toil has lost its weary strain Now a halo crowns each duty And I sing a glad refrain You ask why? I say... Heavenly wisdom He provides me Grace to keep my spirit free In His own sweet way He guides me When the path I cannot see O what splendor, o what glory O what matchless power divine Is the Christ of Gospel story Christ, the Saviour who is mine
