Well I got the joy of the Lord down in my (soul)
And it's just like fire in my (bones)
I (feel it in my hands I feel it in my feet)
I feel it move (movin all over me)

Well it picks me up when I'm (down)
It makes me smile when I (frown)
It soothes me [?]
I feel the joy of the Lord down in my soul

It makes me happy when I'm (sad)
The Holy Ghost makes me (glad)
I had this peace since the Lord set me free
I feel the joy of the Lord down in my soul

Oh what a joy [x2]
Oh oh oh oh what a joy

I've got the joy of the Lord down in my (soul)
Just like fire in my (bones)
I (feel it my hands feel it in my feet)
I (feel it movin all over me)

It picks me up when I'm (down)
It makes me smile when I (frown)
It soothes me [?]
I feel the joy of the Lord down in my soul

[Chorus:]
Down in my soul [x4]
Way down in my soul

Joy in my soul
Nothing like the joy in my soul
I've got the joy of the Lord in my soul

[Chorus]

Way down in my soul [repeat]
