The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength

Verse 1:
Come, come to the law, the law you've forgotten,
Stand, stand before God, the God you've forsaken.
Feel the weight, the weight of your sin,
Lift your hands and tell him "amen,"
But do not mourn or weep.

Chorus 1:
For the joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord,
The joy of the Lord is your strength.
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord,
The joy of the Lord is your strength.

Verse 2:
Kneel, kneel at the cross, all who are weary,
See, see all your sins and God's holy fury.
God himself bore all our guilt,
Temple crushed, in three days rebuilt,
So do not mourn or weep.

Chorus 2:
Oh the joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord,
The joy of the Lord is your strength.
So listen to the word until you have heard
The joy of the Lord is your strength.

Verse 3:
Come, come to the feast for God made a promise:
Wrath, wrath we deserve shall not fall upon us.
Eat and drink for God has drawn near,
Taste his love for gone is our fear.
