red-flower-against-blurred-goldHow fragile this world that we live in
I get caught in the fight of the day
I can’t see the gifts I’ve been given
So much is clouding my way

But sometimes your voice speaks so loudly
Yet you whisper right into my soul
To look for the miracles everywhere
As the truth of life unfolds

Joy to life, joy to life
Joy to all you have given me
Everywhere I look I see
The joy of life

Tranquil my heart to the rhythm
Of your beauty that’s inside of me
I’m learning to trust your sweet vision
And to be all that I’m meant to be

Joy to life, joy to life
Joy to all you have given me
Everywhere I look, I see
The joy of life

So much time that I’ve been wasting
So much yet to be done
There are new fruits I’ve been tasting
My journey has just begun

Joy to life, joy to life
Joy to all you have given me
Everywhere I look, I see
The joy of life
