Where is my joy Oh Lord?

Has my flesh consumed it?

Has the world exhausted it?

Or the enemy stole it in the night?

Where is my joy Oh Lord?

For I know it is not of the flesh!

For the flesh ages and decomposes

And this joy turns to dust

Where is my joy Oh Lord?

Is it from the world?

Filled with empty dreams and promises!

So easily shatters like a piece of glass

Where is my joy Oh Lord?

The enemy offers it to me!

Sugar coated and filled with false delight

What genius! What lies!

My joy rests in thee my Lord!

But my eyes cannot see you

My fingers touch you

My senses cannot grasp you my Lord!

My joy rests in thee my Lord!

For your grace have opened up my eyes

Faith slowly reveals me to you!

How beautiful you are my Lord!

My joy rests in thee my Lord!

For your mercy is an ocean

You have save this fool time and time again

Your mercy is stronger than my weakness!

My joy rests in thee my Lord!

What love do you have?
For the almighty who created the universe

Chose dwell inside this broken and sinful man

Let my heart rejoice my Lord!

For my joy is your Love!

An unimaginable and unfailing Love

For you are love itself!
