There Is Joy

In the midst of our trials there is joy
a joy that nothing and none can destroy
a joy unspeakable and full of Your glory
a joy that gives the assurance of victory

In the midst of our sorrows there is joy
a joy that You have given us to employ
no matter what life will throw our way
for it is a joy that is ours each new day

In the midst of our pains there is joy
a joy that is real and not just a ploy
to get us to ignore our deep suffering
but a joy that is deep and refreshing

In the midst of our darkness there is joy
a joy that we can always deploy
to move us to praise and thanksgiving
for our God is not dead, He is the living
