The joy of my salvation
Is the joy of knowing You,
Your sweet presence near to me
Is the strength that holds me true.
When You’re near I see Your hand
In so many little things,
And each moment that I share with You
Helps my faith grow bigger wings.
That feeling when You’re near, Lord,
I want nothing to destroy,
And I’ll not flirt with any sin
That would take away my joy.
When You’re near I’m confident
That I’m following Your Son,
And the things I ask I know You’ll grant
Because our hearts are one.
When You’re near I see so clear
What things are right and wrong,
And that makes me glad, for I’d not do
Anything to grieve Your Son.
