Joy and Gladness

Storm clouds are raging all around me
Dark breakers rolling on the black sea
But i won’t fear
‘Cause my Jesus gave me joy

Although the devil’s on the war path
My neighbours mock at me and they laugh
But i don’t care
‘Cause His Spirit gives me joy

Joy and Gladness
Not for what i see
But for what He’s done for me

Joy and Gladness
Oh yes, i believe
That’s what Jesus is to me

Joy and Gladness
That no one can destroy

Oh, He lives in me
And He fills my heart with joy

i focus on His precious promise ^{[Psalm 105:42-43]}
i’ll never be like doubting Thomas ^{[John 20:25]}
Yes, i’ll stand firm
‘Cause my Jesus gave me joy

Jehovah dwells within my praises ^{[Psalm 22:3]}
He guides me thru life’s darkened mazes ^{[Psalm 32:8]}
All praise to Him
For He fills my heart with joy

Joy and Gladness
Not for what i see
But for what He’s done for me

Joy and Gladness
Oh yes, i believe
That’s what Jesus is to me

Joy and Gladness
That no one can destroy

Oh, He lives in me
And He fills my heart with...

Not happiness for those things
i see or can possess
But joy in the Holy Ghost ^{[Romans 14:17; 1 Thessalonians 1:6]}
Who gives me peace and rest ^{[Isaiah 55:12]}

Joy and Gladness
Not for what i see
But for what He’s done for me

Joy and Gladness
Oh yes, i believe
That’s what Jesus is to me

Joy and Gladness
That no one can destroy

Oh, He lives in me
And He fills my heart with...

Make me to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied; let the bones which You have broken rejoice. (Psalm 51:8 AMP)

And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness and singing, (Psalm 105:43 AMP)

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (Isaiah 35:10 AMP)

And you shall have joy and exultant delight, and many will rejoice over his birth, (Luke 1:14 AMP)
