Your mercy rises with the sun
Shining on the trees You made
The trees are clapping in the wind
All of creation sings Your praise
You came surrounded by compassion
With heaven glowing on Your face
To tell the story of redemption
That's ringing in our ears today
The joy of the Lord is my strength, is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength, is my strength
The darkness runs and hides
When the light of Your kingdom shines
The joy of the Lord it is my strength

I see Your beauty in the morning
When the sunlight hits the ground
The birds are singing of Your glory
Such a sweet sweet sound
The joy of the Lord is my strength, is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength, is my strength
The darkness runs and hides
When the light of Your kingdom shines
The joy of the Lord it is my strength
You are my strength
Redemption is rising
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
The kingdom is shining
And it's beautiful, and it's beautiful
Redemption is rising
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
The kingdom is shining
And it's beautiful, and it's beautiful
Redemption is rising
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
The kingdom is shining
And it's beautiful, and it's beautiful

The joy of the Lord is my strength, is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength, is my strength
The darkness runs and hides
When the light of Your kingdom shines
The joy of the Lord it is my strength
The joy of the Lord it is my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
Be my strength
