[Verse]
All around us, there are troubles
And there are trials 'round every turn
And though that cold wind won't stop blowin'
There's a fire in my bones
And it keeps me going
Keeps me going
Keeps me going on

[Chorus]
The joy of the Lord is my strength and my song
That sweet melody in my soul all day long
No matter what comes, I'll just keep going on
'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song
'Til the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin'
'Til He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' (hey!)

[Verse]
For every question, there's and answer
For every problem, there's a prayer
But greater is He that lives within me
Than all the trouble here in this world

[Chorus]
The joy of the Lord is my strength and my song
That sweet melody in my soul all day long
No matter what comes, I'll just keep going on
'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song
'Til the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin'
'Til He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin'

[Bridge]
I've got that joy down in my soul
I've got that joy, joy of the Lord
I've got that joy down in my soul
I've got that joy, joy of the Lord

[Chorus]
The joy of the Lord is my strength and my song
That sweet melody in my soul all day long
No matter what comes, I'll just keep going on
'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song (hey!)
Chorus
That sweet melody in my soul all day long
And if the devil don't like it then he can get gone
'Cause the joy of the Lord is my strength and my song
'Til the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin'
'Til He calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' (oh, no)
'Til the trumpet sounds and the bells are ringin' (ay-yeah)
'Til he calls me home, no, I won't stop singin' (hey!)

[Outro]
I won't stop, no
'Cause I got that joy down in my soul
