One day I was walking in a world of sin
No rest for my weary soul
Then I met a man who said
He’d be my friend
All my burdens He did roll
God took those worldly desires
Gave me heavenly fire
And now I got a brand new goal
And since I met this man called
Jesus Christ
I got the joy joy joy in my soul
Chorus
I got joy in my heart
Joy in my mind
Joy since that happy day
I got joy in my hands
Joy in my feet
I got joy in every way
God took those worldly desires
Gave me heavenly fire
And now I got a brand new goal
And since I met this man called
Jesus Christ
I got the joy joy joy in my soul
I got my eyes on Jesus
got my mind made up
and I tell it everywhere I go
Ain’t nobody gonna turn me around
‘Cause Jesus is in control
God took those worldly desires
Gave me heavenly fire
And now I got a brand new goal
And since i met this man called
Jesus Christ
I got the joy joy joy in my soul
