Though the tears may fall

My song will rise, my song will rise to You

Though my heart may fail

My song will rise, my song will rise to You

While there’s breath in my lungs

I will praise You, Lord

In the dead of night

I’ll lift my eyes, I’ll lift my eyes to You

Though the waters rise

I’ll lift my eyes, I’ll lift my eyes to You

While there’s hope in this heart

I will praise You, Lord

The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord is my strength

In the darkness I’ll dance

In the shadows I’ll sing

The joy of the Lord is my strength

When I cannot see You with my eyes

Let faith arise to You

When I cannot feel Your hand in mine

Let faith arise to You

God of mercy and love

I will praise You, Lord

How You shine with glory, Lord of light

I feel alive with You

In Your presence now I come alive

I am alive with You

There is strength when I say

I will praise You, Lord

The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord is my strength

In the darkness I’ll dance

In the shadows I’ll sing

The joy of the Lord is my strength

When sorrow comes my way

You are the shield around me

Always You remain

My courage in the fight

I hear You call my name

Jesus, I am coming

Walking on the waves

Reaching for Your light

The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord is my strength

In the darkness I’ll dance

In the shadows I’ll sing

The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord is my strength

The joy of the Lord is my strength

In the darkness I’ll dance

In the shadows I’ll sing

The joy of the Lord is my strength
