There is a joy deep in my heart
That wells up from my innnermost part
A soulful joy that transcends time
And goes beyond body and mind
There is a joy that makes me weep
As deep is calling unto deep
It moves me in my very soul
It causes me my Lord to extol
Chorus
Oh blessed joy of my salvation
Oh joy that fuels pure celebration
Oh joy that never shall depart
Flows from the wellsprings of my heart
Oh joy that causes me to tremble
Is like an incense in this temple
This joy compels me to rejoice
It rises up as I lift my voice
There is a joy that Jesus gives
A joy to know that he forgives
A blessed joy that overflows
That my Lord alone bestows
There is a joy that ere remains
Down in my heart that Christ sustains
One day my joy will be complete
That blessed day when The Lord I meet
