Joy

Joy it's coursing through my veins 

My situations are nowhere near perfect

But the God that I serve He and His will are

My joy is rooted in the fact that I am saved

I have been redeemed and my future is bright

Eternal life awaits me and I get to spend it with Him

My joy is not reliant on anyone or anything

But is founded in the truth of who He says I am

Chosen and plucked out of the pit I kept digging

Set on the foundation of hope and grace

Mercy was given when death should've been the outcome

He took my place when the cross should've been mine

Suffered the brutal death that awaited me

And conquered death so a second chance could be given

Hallelujah that I was rescued from the darkness I was in

I was given a new name a new purpose and a new life

Went from lost to found blind to seeing

I became a daughter of the King

No longer bound to my earthly self and destined for death

But free to be the woman Gods called me to be

My chains broken and my shackles fell to the floor

Looked into the face of a loving Father

Who said I love you and you are forever mine

Nothing can separate us or tear us apart
