What can steal my joy,
who can take it away?
no, not chaos nor Satan
will lift it from me today.
Not pain, or sickness,
can rob the joy I feel
no, not even the grave
can my gladness steal.
Nor can stress or strife,
cause my joy to tarnish
no problem or worry
will make my joy vanish.
No hurt or heartache,
can embezzle out of me
the bliss I will feel
when Jesus I finally see.
Nothing can steal my joy,
nobody can take it away
not even grief or sorrow
will cause my joy to decay!
~~~~~~~~~
John 16:22
“And ye now therefore have sorrow:
but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice,
and your joy no man taketh from you.”
