Mountains ahead of me and valleys behind
The road may be narrow, but your mercy is wide

Sorrow may linger and last for the night but I am never alone

The joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength

I may be weak, but I will cling to the vine
I’m pressed but not crushed, for You are making new wine

Wounds may be opened and weakness revealed, but I will be healed in the fire

The joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
(You are my strength)

Sorrow may linger and last for the night but I am never alone
Wounds may be opened and weakness revealed but I will be healed in the fire

The joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength

I have a river of life flowing out of me!
