Given much
Given little
You have given me the greater joy
Though I feel despair in my current circumstances
And my heart is aching
Though I walk through the blazing fire for miles and miles
With burning coals beneath my feet
You have given me the greater joy
Let this world strip away every pillar I have placed my identity on
Let it all fall and crumble
You have given me the greater joy
Though it feels like the sorrow will never end
And tears continue to flow
You have given me the greater joy
So, I will lift up my hands and praise You
I will shout, “Hallelujah!” from the top of my lungs
“This God I serve, the Lord Jesus Christ, He has given me the greater joy!”
“I will praise You forevermore!”
Can anything or anyone extinguish my praise?
Like water to a blazing fire?
Surely not! For the Lord will preserve me through it all.
Though the darkness may plunge me deep beneath the waters
My God will remain. He will give me oxygen to breathe
I am forever connected to the source of life
Life is with me. Light is in me
Jesus is present now and always
His spirit dwells within me!
The Lord is my light and my salvation— Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— Of whom shall I be afraid?
If God has given me the greater joy
To who or what can I compare Him?
If my joy is not connected to anything of this world
What am I in need of but Christ?
Only one true desire of my heart remains, and that is
To praise You forevermore
