All around us, there are troubles There are trials 'round every turn Though that cold wind won't stop blowin' There's a fire in my bones And it keeps me going, keeps me going Keeps me going on The joy of the Lord is my strength and my song That sweet melody in my soul all day long No matter what comes, I just keep goin' on 'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song Till the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin' Till He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' For every question, there's an answer For every problem, there's a prayer But greater is He that lives within me Than all the trouble here in this world The joy of the Lord is my strength and my song That sweet melody in my soul all day long No matter what comes, I just keep goin' on 'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song Till the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin' Till He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' I've got that joy down in my soul I've got that joy, joy of the Lord I've got that joy down in my soul I've got that joy, joy of the Lord The joy of the Lord is my strength and my song That sweet melody in my soul all day long No matter what comes, I just keep goin' on 'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song That sweet melody in my soul all day long And if the devil don't like it, then he can get gone 'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song Till the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin' Till He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' Till the trumpet sounds and bells are ringin' Till He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' (Hey) I'll never stop, no 'Cause I've got that joy Down in my soul
