32. I Have the Joy

1 I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart,
down in my heart, down in my heart!
I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart,
down in my heart to stay!
And it's the greatest, grandest feeling, and it's
a feeling here to stay! And it's a joy that needs
revealing, so I just want to say:

2 I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart! I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus down in my heart,
down in my heart to stay!
And it's the greatest, grandest feeling, and it's
a feeling here to stay! And it's a love that needs
revealing, so I just want to say:

3 I have the peace that passes understanding down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart!
I have the peace that passes understanding down in my heart, down in my heart to stay!
And it's the greatest, grandest feeling, and it's
a feeling here to stay! And it's a peace that needs
revealing, so I just want to say:

4 I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart,
down in my heart, down in my heart!
I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart,
down in my heart to stay!
