The joy of the Lord is my strength   The joy of the Lord is my strength   The joy of the Lord it is my strength      (Verse)   In my dark and weakest hour   Your joy is there to give me power   To be what you've called me to be   And when I'm down, and feeling low   The joy You give, it overflows   So I receive, I lift my hands and say      The strength of the Lord is my joy   The strength of the Lord is my joy   The strength of the Lord it is my joy      The joy of the Lord I receive   The joy of the Lord I receive   The joy of the Lord I now receive
