WELL THE JOY OF THE LORD it is my strength
The song of the Lord it is my hope
The power of the Lord it is His arm laid bare
Well my Lord He is a sun and shield
Who shelters all who run to him
And in His hands the suffering find peace
And in my heart I know
Without You I’d be lost
In You there’s everything
I need You Redeemer
You have the words of eternal life
And I will follow You
I need You my Saviour
You have the words of eternal life
And I will follow You
