詩歌分享：The Joy of the Lord

星期天我們教會唱這首詩，是勝過黑暗的詩歌，幾位弟兄姊妹彈奏吉他和打鼓帶領。這對於我們這個一貫唱傳統詩歌的教會來說，很棒！

Though tears may fall My song will rise
my song will rise to You
Though my heart may fail My song will rise
my song will rise to You
While there’s breath in my lungs
I will praise You, Lord

In the dead of night I’ll lift my eyes
I’ll lift my eyes to You
When the waters rise I’ll lift my eyes
I’ll lift my eyes to You
While there’s hope in my heart
I will praise You, Lord

(Refrain)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
In the darkness I’ll dance In the shadows I’ll sing
The joy of the Lord is my strength

When I cannot see You with my eyes
Let faith arise to You
When I cannot feel Your hand in mine
Let faith arise to You God of mercy and love
I will praise You, Lord
How you shine with glory Lord of light
I feel alive with you

In your presence now I come alive
I am alive with you
There is strength when I say
I will praise You, Lord
(Refrain) x2

When sorrow comes my way
you are the shield around me
Always you remain my courage in the fight
I hear you call my name, Jesus I am coming
Walking on the wave, reaching for Your light
(Refrain) x2
