May Your joy be in my heart

MAY YOUR JOY BE IN MY HEART
May Your joy be in my heart
May Your joy be in my heart, O Lord.
With every breath I take, every move I make
May Your joy be in my heart, O Lord

May Your praise be on my lips
May Your praise be on my lips
May Your praise be on my lips, O Lord.
With every breath I take, every move I make
May Your praise be on my lips, O Lord

And as I grow up one day at a time
I know Your presence will never leave me
For You have promised to stay by my side
Now and for evermore.

May Your spring be in my step
May Your spring be in my step
May Your spring be in my step O Lord;
With every breath I take, every move I make,
May Your spring be in my step O Lord.

May Your smile be on my face.
May Your smile be on my face.
May Your smile be on my face O Lord;
With every breath I take, every move I make
May Your smile be on my face O Lord.
