verse 1

when your going through,
and you dont know what to do,
when the fire gets to high dont draw nigh,
hold your head up high and be of good cheer,
all you need to know,
your deliverance is here

chorus

count it all joy, count it all joy,
count it all joy, count it all joy
count it all joy, count it all joy,
count it all joy, count it all joy

verse 2

i know you sit and ask yourself so many times,
why does it seem like i am losing my minde,
as i sit and reminise on all that ive been through,
i'm realizing its not about me but about you

(repeat chorus)

number one he woke me up this morning
number two he started me on my way the way he gave me a place to lay my head

weeping made due for the night but joys
gonna come in the morning light weeping made
due for the night joys gonna come in the morning light counting it all count it all counting all joy.
