Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus
When lions prowl, growl and salivate
Flames of the fiery furnace lick around us
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus.
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus
When the wild winds push our boat to the depths
The seas rebuff and our journey is tough
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus.
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus
When the accusing finger points
Tongues in rapid automatic fire spits accusations at us
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus.
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus
Whenever we venture that extra mile
Bearing fruit behind enemy lines
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus.
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus
When the nails are being hammered into our hands
The crowds spit and jeer at us on our cross
Lord, help us stay in the joy of Jesus.
