The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord is my strength The joy of the Lord it is my strength (Verse) In my dark and weakest hour Your joy is there to give me power To be what you've called me to be And when I'm down, and feeling low The joy You give, it overflows So I receive, I lift my hands and say The strength of the Lord is my joy The strength of the Lord is my joy The strength of the Lord it is my joy The joy of the Lord I receive The joy of the Lord I receive The joy of the Lord I now receive
