All around us
There are troubles
There are trials round every turn
Though that cold wind
Won't stop blowing
There's a fire in my bones

And it keeps me going
Keeps me going
Keeps me going on

The joy of the Lord is my strength
And my song
That sweet melody
In my soul all day long
No matter what comes

I just keep going on
'Cause the joy
Of the Lord is my strength
And my song

Till the trumpet sounds
And the bells are ringing
Till He calls me home no
I won't stop singing

For every question
There's an answer
For every problem
There's a prayer

But greater is He
That lives within me
Than all the trouble
Here in this world

The joy of the Lord is my strength
And my song
That sweet melody
In my soul all day long

No matter what comes
I just keep going on
'Cause the joy
Of the Lord is my strength
And my song

Till the trumpet sounds
And the bells are ringing
Till He calls me home no
I won't stop singing

I've got that joy down in my soul
I've got that joy, joy of the Lord

The joy of the Lord is my strength
And my song
That sweet melody
In my soul all day long

No matter what comes
I just keep going on
'Cause the joy
Of the Lord is my strength
And my song
That sweet melody in my soul
All day long

And if the devil don't like it
Than he can get gone
'Cause the joy of
The Lord is my strength
And my song

Till the trumpet sounds
And the bells are ringing
Till He calls me home no
I won't stop singing

Trumpet sounds
And the bells are ringing
Till He calls me home no
I won't stop singing

Hey
I'll never stop no
'Cause I’ve got that Joy
Down in my soul
