[Verse 1]
Mountains ahead of me
And valleys behind
The road may be narrow
But Your mercy is wide

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sorrow may linger and last for the night
But I am never alone
Sorrow may linger and last for the night
But I am never alone

[Chorus]
The joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength

[Verse 2]
I may be weak
But I will cling to the vine
I’m pressed but not crushed
For You are making new wine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
My wounds may be opened and weakness revealed
But I will be healed in the fire
Wounds may be opened and weakness revealed
But I will be healed in the fire
[Chorus]
The joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength

[Interlude]
You are my strength

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sorrow may linger and last for the night
But I am never alone
Sorrow may linger and last for the night
But I am never alone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wounds may be opened and weakness revealed
But I will be healed in the fire
Wounds may be opened and weakness revealed
But I will be healed in the fire

[Chorus]
The joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
Oh, the joy of the Lord is my strength, my strength
[Bridge]
I have a river of life flowing out of me
I have a river of life flowing out of me
I have a river of life flowing out of me
I have a river of life flowing out of me
I have a river of life flowing out of me
I have a river of life flowing out of me
I have a river of life flowing out of me
