Joy & Gladness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will rest on this truth, my God
That despair is a breath
But Your Word stands forever
& pain is just a part of life
May it have its full effect on me
I like to think I am stronger
& I like to think I know better
But I don't
I don't know how to be grateful
I don't know how to praise You, God
Or how to restrain my thoughts
From the sinful throws
Of this wicked life
But hear this plea
If it brings You glory
& great benefit to me
Then thank you very much
I'll have another
Test me, the very depths of me
For my heart prides itself
In being Your enemy
Be ever patient with me, God
Unlike I have been with You
The words of my lips
The filth my mind thinks
You were put to death for it
My sins are darker than night
Yeah, I know I deserve to die
But you won't punish me
For my sins you placed on Him
If it all goes to hell You still sit on
Your throne, this is true & I know it
I have joy because You rose again
On that great third day
I have joy because I can trust Your wounds
No matter what you take or give
No matter what nightmare you inflict
I will trust that You care for me
& that it's all done as love through discipline
If I don't bear the ugly scars
Of your stern but loving rods
Then how can I say I am Yours?
It's all love through discipline
But you won't punish me
For my sins you placed on Him
