Chorus 1:

Joy, joy - God's great joy

Joy, joy - Down in my soul

Sweet, beautiful, soul saving joy

Ohh joy, joy in my soul

Verse 1:

Early in the morning

Before the break of day

I ask the lord to make me whole

He holds me and He keeps me

Ohh joy, joy in my soul

Verse 2:

When I get weak and I can't go on

I feel like all my hope is gone now

Late in the midnight hour

He talks to me and gives me joy

Ohh joy, joy in my soul

Verse 3:

One of these whole mornings

And it won't be very long

You gonna look for me

And I'll be gone home

I'm going up to the Lord

I'm goin' there to sing and shout

Ohh joy, joy in my soul
