Joy In Endurance

(ooh, yeah)

When the shadows of trial came falling like rain

Job stood in the center of losses and pain (so much pain)

His family, his riches,

all swept in a day

But he fell to his knees just to worship and pray

He never cursed the Lord above (no never)

He trusted in His perfect love

(let's go!) The joy of the Lord is my strength and my

shield! Through every hard valley,

His victory is sealed!

He gives and He takes,

blessed be

His great name! Job rose from the ashes,

and we do the same!

Though the whispers of doubt tried to tear down his mind

No trace of resentment in Job could they find (no doubt)

He knew that his living Redeemer was strong

So he turned all his weeping into a new song

He never cursed the Lord above (no never) He trusted in His

perfect love

The joy of the Lord is my strength and my shield!

Through every hard valley,

His victory is sealed!

He gives and He takes,

blessed be His great name!

Job rose from the ashes,

and we do the same!

Double for his trouble,

restoration arrived

Faithful through the fire,

his spirit survived

Oh, we stand on the promise,

we worship His name

Yesterday, today, and forever the same! (hallelujah!)

The joy of the Lord is my strength!

(yes it is)

Forever

and ever,

we praise Him
