Your joy will come as surely as the sun
And a shout will rise from my heart
You are on my side and the victory is mine
When I keep my eyes on You
Your joy overcomes
When the world tries to pull me under
Your Joy overcomes for me
Your peace takes control
When the world all around is crazy
Your peace takes control for me
Let Your peace take hold like an anchor for my soul
And the praise will rise from my heart
I will not be moved You’re the rock I hold on to
I will keep my faith in You
Your joy’s gonna be my strength
Your peace got a hold of me yeah
Your joy’s gonna be my strength always
