Down in My Heart

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
