Lyrics
JOYFUL
Karmann Powell/Lynn Goveia copyright 2006
Weeping comes in the night time
That's the time to mourn
Joy comes in the morning
A new day is born
So be joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
Give your thanks to the Lord
Joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
Give your thanks to the Lord
Cry out the name of Jesus
Heard throughout the land
Call upon your savior
And He will take you by the hand
And be joyful, joyful
Joyful, Joyful
Give your thanks to the Lord
Joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
Give your thanks to the Lord
You are my rock
You are my sword and sheld
You are my savior
And I cry "Abba Father, Abba Father, Abba Father"
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We will run this race with joy
Exalting God most High
And be joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
Give your thanks to the Lord
Joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
Give your thanks to the Lord
I'm so joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
I give my thanks to the Lord
Joyful, joyful
Joyful, joyful
I give my thanks to the Lord
