Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this world could never give
Joy, hope, I got peace
That this world could never give
Every morning I wake up
I wear a clock of favour
I drink of His grace and His mercy
Surely goodness and mercy
Follow me all my days
He is my source of joy
The strength of my life
Every morning I wake up
I wear a clock of favour
I drink of His grace and His mercy
On me, on mine
Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all my days
He is my source of joy
The strength of my life
Joy, hope, peace
That this world could never give
Joy, hope, peace
That this world could never give
I set my mind on things above
Where Christ is seated on the throne
Him who shared His blood
For me, on mine
Nothing can separate me
From the love of God
He is my source of joy
The strength of my life
I set my mind on things above
Where Christ is seated on the throne
Him who shared His blood
For me, on mine
Nothing can separate me
From the love of God
He is my source of joy
The strength of my life
Joy, hope, I got peace
That this world could never give
Joy, hope, peace
That this world could never give
Joy, hope, peace
That this world could never give
Joy, hope, peace
That this world could never give
Oh, thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus everyday
