THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION

With mercy so deep
And grace undeserved
He cleanses and saves my soul
With Him I am made whole

Oh why have I strayed so far
Why have I let the world sidetrack me
Things that get in the way
Taken my time with You away

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
I have given in to the tempters snare
Your ways oh Lord I have lost
I know what it has cost

Because of the cost of my backsliding
They laid the cruel whip across Your back
They drove nails into Your feet and hands
You accepted it with love I do not understand

You put aside Your crown of gold
Let them put on a crown of thorns
You endured the agony of the tree
All for love of a sinner like me

Cleanse the thoughts of my heart once again
For my sin is ever before me
Let the joy of Your salvation burn bright
Fill my soul with Your love and light
