| VERSE 1: A Though the tears may fall My song will rise, my song will rise to You Though my heart may fail My song will rise, my song will rise to You D While there’s breath in my lungs A I will praise You, Lord A In the dead of night I’ll lift my eyes, I’ll lift my eyes to You Though the waters rise I’ll lift my eyes, I’ll lift my eyes to You D While there’s hope in this heart A I will praise You, Lord CHORUS A The joy of the Lord is my strength F#m The joy of the Lord is my strength E D In the darkness I’ll dance In the shadows I’ll sing A The joy of the Lord is my strength |
VERSE 2: When I cannot see You with my eyes Let faith arise to You When I cannot feel Your hand in mine Let faith arise to You God of mercy and love I will praise You, Lord How You shine with glory, Lord of light I feel alive with You In Your presence now I come alive I am alive with You There is strength when I say I will praise You, Lord BRIDGE D E When sorrow comes my way F#m E You are the shield around me D E Always You remain F#m E My courage in the fight D E I hear You call my name F#m E Jesus, I am coming D E Walking on the waves F#m E Reaching for Your light |
