A Song - Jesus Gives Me Joy
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer's Foreword
The joy that the world gives does not last long but the joy the Lord gives through Jesus lasts us through this earth and in the world to come we shall have always joy before him.
Having been enjoying the joy of the Lord, it crosses my mind to put some words into songs about this special joy, the joy of the Lord that comes through Jesus Christ.
It is my sincere belief that if anyone has enjoyed this joy, such a one will like the wordings of this composition and would want to sing this song.
To make the singing of this song easy, I have prerecorded the tune used on YouTube and have shared the link here for convenience sake.
Thank you.
Composed Song
Chorus
Joy/6x
Jesus gives me joy
Leader/Solo
Kind of joy that Jesus gives
None on earth
Could give such joy
Chorus
Leader
When young I have thought
Acquiring wealth
W'ld sure give me joy
Chorus
Leader
Fulfilments 'll surely come
Through college certificates
My friends have said (But No)
Chorus
Leader
People have said
Getting a spouse will surely
Give me joy I want
Chorus
Leader
Getting married, getting children
Though very good
But they don't give lasting joy
Chorus
Leader
Possessing wealth acquiring certificates
Yea they are good
Yet they don't give lasting joy
Chorus
Leader
Only God through his son
Lord Jesus gives
Everlasting joy
Chorus
Leader
This joy the Lord's joy
It's my inner
Strength
Chorus
Leader
I 'll always rejoice in him
Yea I 'll alway'
R'joice in the Lord
Chorus
Leader
He has shown me
The path of life
In his presence I'm 'verwhealmed with his joy
Chorus
