Lyrics
Vesre 1
Thank You, Father, for Your mercy
Thank You, Jesus, for Calvary
Thank You, Spirit, You give life to me
From the chains of sin and death You've set me free
Chorus 1
Oh what joy for those who are forgiven
Their sins are not remembered
And all their guilt is gone
Oh what joy for those in Christ Jesus
There's no more condemnation
Their penalty is paid
Verse 2
We're accepted by the Father
We're loved deeply by His Son
We're led by the Holy Spirit
Let us praise our God for all that He has done.
Chorus 2
Oh what joy! The Lord in His great mercy
Has given us a new birth
Into a living hope
Oh what joy! An inheritance He gives us
That's kept in heaven for us
'Til salvation is revealed
Verse 3
For a short time we may suffer
And face trials of many kinds
That's how patience and endurance grows
And shows that our faith is genuine
Chorus 3
Oh what joy for those who walk on God's path!
They don't stand 'round with sinners
Nor join with those who mock
Oh what joy for those who love God's law
They meditate on it
Throughout the day and night
