Joy of Being with You (by Joy 4)

Even when the darkest times went by
You had no lasting tears
The happiness and joy you felt
Drowned your doubts and fears

CHORUS
But you began to drift away
Even though He stayed the same
Reaching out to you
but it seems they're all in vain
Oh on that cross, in all that shame,
If you only knew
That the only thing that kept Him through
Was the joy of being with you

Do you still recall the nights
When He wiped your tears away
When everyone and everything failed in every way
He was there, He understood, kept you standing tall
He taught you things you never could,
And would carry you when you fall

(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE
"You've turned your back on me,
I stayed right here where you left me"
You've been running on your own
For things that tear you apart
