Now the light has left the dark I fear
When I reach for him and he's not here
Many times have come when he is gone
Yet I found the strength to carry on
But then I turn around and everything is changed
He will reach for me and lay his hands upon my face
When I feel his touch my love will overflow
He is real to me, now I know
He is the joy in my morning, in my evening
Every day and night I feel the joy
When I'm lonely something tells me
He's my guide and light
He is the joy
He is the joy
He is the joy
He is the joy
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
Every day, every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
Every, every day, every day of my life, hey
I can't explain about this love I feel
But I know it is real, so here's the deal
Sometimes I give up, I don't believe
And it breaks my heart so painfully
But then I turn around and everything is changed
He will reach for me, lay his hands upon my face
When I feel his touch my love will overflow
He is real to me, now I know
He is the joy in my morning, in my evening
Every day and night I feel the joy
When I'm lonely something tells me
He's my guide and light
He is the joy
He is the joy
He is the joy
He is the joy
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
Every day, every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
Every day, every day of my life, hey
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
He takes the pain and the strife every day of my life
Every day of my life he takes the pain and the strife
Every day of my life, every day of my life
Every day of my life he takes the pain and the strife
Every day, every day, every day of my life
Every day of my life he takes the pain and the strife
Every day of my life, every day of my life
Every day of my life he takes the pain and the strife
Every day, every day, every day of my life
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
Joy, joy
