Joy

There were days I could not see

Past the shadows over me

Questions hanging in the air

Wondering if You were there

Like a father calls his child

Through the dark and through the wild

You kept reaching out to lead me

Toward the light

Every tear, every trial

You were with me all the while

We were made for joy

That’s what Fathers do

They keep reaching through the darkness

Just to bring us through

We were made for joy

Heaven knows our name

Love is stronger than the night

And light will rise again

Joy

Joy

There were roads I should not take

There were hearts that I would break

Still Your mercy stayed beside me

Every step

Through the sorrow, through the fall

You were faithful through it all

Like a voice that keeps on calling

A child home

Every loss, every fight

Led me closer to the light

We were made for joy

That’s what Fathers do

They keep reaching through the darkness

Just to bring us through

We were made for joy

Heaven knows our name

Love is stronger than the night

And light will rise again

Joy

Joy

When the fear is heavy

When the road feels long

Love keeps singing

You belong

When the world goes silent

And hope feels far away

Grace keeps whispering

Your name

We were made for joy

That’s what Fathers do

They keep lifting up the weary

Making all things new

We were made for joy

This is why we live

Through the Savior’s endless love

Hope is always here

Joy

Joy

Joy

We were made for joy…
