Joy
Mary Mary · Thankful
I get joy, joy thinking about
What He's done for me
I get joy, joy thinking about
What He's done for me
It's in my hands, my feet
I'm talking about
What He's done for me
I get joy just thinking about
What He's done for me
Oh how I wonder when my soul looks back
How I ever made it through my sinful, wicked past
I did everything that I thought I wanted 'til it brought me down
Then God reached out to me
So im here to tell you now
(chorus)
I've seen the bottom of the mountain
I've had my share of pain
I've been through so many struggles
I thought I'd never breathe again
So I prayed that God would help me
I couldn't handle it no more
Then He lifted every burden
And that's why I get joy
(chorus)
