[Verse 1]
How can I be empty when I'm so full of Him?
How can I have nothing? He gave me everything
And I know deep down in my soul
It is Christ who’s made me whole
So I, I am full of joy
[Pre-Chorus]
So be of good cheer, and be filled with laughter
Be of good cheer, and be filled with laughter
[Chorus]
Joy, joy, joy, joy, I am full of joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy, I am full of joy, joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength (Is my strength)
Is my, is my strength (Is my strength)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Is my, is my strength (My strength)
[Verse 2]
He takes good care of me, yes he's surpassed my every need
So how can I be incomplete when I know the Greater One abides in me?
So I choose to be happy
I cast my cares on Him, 'cause he’s got me
Yes, I choose to be happy
Everything is working out for my good
[Pre-Chorus]
So be of good cheer, and be filled with laughter
(And be filled with laughter)
Be of good cheer, and be filled with laughter
[Chorus]
Joy, joy, joy, joy, (Ah, yeah) I am full of joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy, (Ah, yeah) I am full of joy, joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength (Is my strength)
Is my, is my strength (Is my strength)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Is my, is my strength (My strength)
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la, la, la (Joy)
La, la, la, la, la (Joy)
La, la, la, la, la (Joy, joy, joy)
[Bridge]
So be of good chee-
Joy in the Holy Ghost
I've got joy, joy in the Holy Ghost
(He's surpassed my every need)
I've got joy in the Holy Ghost
(Abides in me)
I've got joy, joy in the Holy Ghost
[Pre-Chorus]
So be of good cheer, and be filled with laughter
(And be filled with laughter)
Be of good cheer, and be filled with laughter
[Chorus]
Joy, joy, joy, joy, (Ah, yeah) I am full of joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy, (Ah, yeah) I am full of joy, joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength (Is my strength)
Is my, is my strength (Is my strength)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Is my, is my strength (My strength)
[Outro]
How can I be empty when I'm so full of Him?
How can I have nothing? He gave me everything
And I know deep down in my soul
It is Christ who's made me whole
So I, I am full of joy
