Joy

I am filled with joy, because I have been redeemed
I have been made new, the old has gone
Living in the freedom that the cross has given me
So many things try to steal the joy that I have in knowing you

Joy is mine, because you are
A life of redemption is my new identity
My trials aren’t going to crush me anymore
A tomb for my doubt, conquered by certainty

My fear turned into awe
My flesh crucified and left in the grave
You bought my freedom, when I all I brought was nails
You traded my filthy rags, for robes of righteousness

Joy has overcome my sorrow
Death has given up, conquered by life
Sin was defeated by love
On the day you rose from the grave
