be joyful

In a world darkened by mistrust and questions,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world puzzled by fact and fiction,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world focused on all that’s lost,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world blindly stumbling forward,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world alone and locked down,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world stifled by cries of injustice,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world divided where kindness seems lost,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.


In a world seemingly spinning out of control,

I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus. 


I’m going to be joyful because of Jesus,

In a world where our God reigns.


I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus,

In a world where His light leads the way.


I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus,

In a world where hope can still be found.


I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus,

In a world where prayer can move mountains.


I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus.

In a world where peace can prevail.


I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus,

In a world where our goal is to be like Him.


I’m gonna be joyful because of Jesus,

In a world where the future wins.
