When I walk in darkness And I can't see my hand before me When my heart is aching And it's all I can do to just breath I will sing for joy The joy of the Lord In the middle of it all I will sing for joy The joy of the Lord In the middle of it all I will sing for joy When the dawn is breaking Shining down on this valley Blinded eyes can now see You have always been with me I will sing for joy The joy of the Lord In the middle of it all I will sing for Joy The Joy of the Lord In the middle of it all When I'm home in glory With all the saints around me The choir's singing holy And heaven's walls are shaking I will sing for joy The joy of the Lord In the middle of it all I will sing for Joy The Joy of the Lord In the middle of it all
