There's a troubled side of life, problems that we all must face
Living in a world of sin, finding no peace within
But a brighter side of life, it will help you every day
Just a little talk with Jesus will wash your cares away
If you want joy, and you're walking, joy, and you're talking
If you want joy, you'll find it in His holy word
If you want joy, and you're singing, joy, and you're drinking
If you want joy, you'll find it in the Lord
Oh, the precious joy of living, knowing that the Lord is near
Over paths I do not know, show me where to go
When I go to Him in prayer, I know He hears an understanding
I know that He will keep me in the heart of all of His hand
If you want joy, and you're talking
If you want joy, you'll find it in His holy word
If you want joy, and you're singing, joy, and you're drinking
If you want joy, you'll find it in the Lord
If you want joy, and you're walking, joy, and you're talking
If you want joy, you'll find it in His holy word
If you want joy, and you're singing, joy, and you're drinking
If you want joy, you'll find it in the Lord
If you want joy, you'll find it in His holy word
If you want joy, you'll find it in His holy word
If you want joy, you'll find it in the Lord
