The joy of the Lord is my strength today, Not borrowed from man, not fading away. When shadows grow long and hope feels thin, His joy lifts my heart from deep within.
It’s joy in the morning, joy at night, Joy in the battle, joy in the fight. Not born of comfort or earthly cheer, But anchored in truth: my God is near.
When tears may fall and burdens press, His joy becomes peace, my righteousness. It steadies my steps, my soul it sings The joy of the Lord is my strength in all things.
Nehemiah 8:10 (KJV) “…for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
