The Joy
My heart is full of peace and joy
Like a young child who just got a new toy
I feel happy and joyious and glad
In this heart that used to feel sad
I used to feel lost and had no peace
it seemed that the pain would never cease
I had no hope or purpose at all
I would just sit around and stare at the wall
Until I found hope that was greater than the pain
My life turned to sunshine and that held back the rain
The peace and love was greater than all
The hope and peace in Jesus, he's there when you fall
