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 Make Him real to me 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 (joy) He takes the pain and the strife, every day of my life (joy) He takes the pain and the strife, every day of my life (joy) He takes the pain and the strife, every day of my life He is the joy in my morning, in my evening And very 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 Every morning and in the evening Joy! Hey, yeah, joy! 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
