Joy, joy! My life is Joy;
yes, joy, joy!

1
Jesus has forgiven my transgressions
and covered my sins.
I have no more reason for sorrow;
His feet are my refuge forever.

2
Jesus, my mighty Lord, is my Good Shepherd.
Every day He provides me with good pasture,
so I have everything I need
and nothing is lacking in my life.

3
I am a traveler journeying toward the city of Zion.
There, in that everlasting city
where there is no destruction,
is my Father's eternal home.

4
As I journey through the wilderness of this world,
He pours the life-giving words of His Word into my heart.
That is my nourishment,
and it will always sustain me.

5
Even along the darkest and most frightening path,
Jesus is with me.
In the presence of my enemies,
He prepares a feast for me
and leads me forward with courage.

6
Surely goodness and mercy
will follow me all the days of my life.
And I will dwell with my Lord
and live with Him forever.
