Joy

[Verse 1] Let us run the race that is set before us. Let us lay aside every weight and sin. Count it all joy my friends, when you meet dark times. (Pre-Chorus) Count it all joy. [Short Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Keep alert, Persevere. Pray always and seek Him every day. Don't lose heart in the hard times, but rejoice for God is growing your hope and character. (Pre-Chorus) Count it all joy. [Instrumental Build] [Chorus] Blessed is he who remains steadfast. Blessed is he who stands the test. God has promised life to those who place their faith and love in Him. [Bridge] (Hallelujah!) Praise the one true God. (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord forever! For He is great worthy to be praised! So, won't you come and run this race with me? (Pre-Chorus) Count it all joy. Count it all joy. [Chorus] Blessed is he who remains steadfast. Blessed is he who stands the test. God has promised life to those who place their faith and love in Him. (guitar solo) (verse) Let us run the race that is set before us. Let us lay aside every weight and sin. Count it all joy my friends, when you meet dark times. (Pre-Chorus) Count it all joy. (outro) (End)
