I Choose Joy Songtext
von Gloria Gaynor

I choose joy
I never let the problems keep me down
Because I know the Lord will work things out
For my good
I choose joy, joy

I choose joy
I never let the problems keep me down
Because I know the Lord will work things out
For my good
I choose joy, joy

To tell the truth
This world is full of troubles
And if we live long enough
They′re sure to come our way
But we've a choice to walk in fear and trembling
Or claim the victory that′s already ours this very day


I choose joy
I never let the problems keep me down
Because I know the Lord will work things out
For my good
I choose joy, joy

So when I wake and stumble to the mirror
And what I see makes me wish that I had stayed in bed
For there's a power deep within my being
And it commands my soul to start praising the Lord
With every breath

So when I find myself under a load of circumstance and care
God wants to know what I'm doing under there

So I choose joy
I never let the problems keep me down
Because I know the Lord will work things out
For my good
I choose joy, joy

I choose joy
I never let the problems keep me down
Because I know the Lord will work things out
For my good
I choose joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy


I choose joy
Never let the problems keep me down
′Cause I know I can trust the Lord
To work it out, to work it out
For my good
I, I, I choose joy, oh

I choose joy
Ooh, I′m never gonna let nothing keep me down
'Cause I know my Jesus
He′s gonna work it out
He's gonna work it all out for my good
And it leaves me free, free to choose joy
