A Quiet Joy

There's a quiet joy within my heart
For there my Savior lives.
And when the road seems rough and long
More grace does He give.

And should you see upon my face
The silent tears that fall,
Know that they are not born of pain
For He is Lord of all.

And He has filled my heart with joy,
I'm overwhelmed by love.
The tears are for the blessings
That He showers from above.

O sweet joy to know that I am His
And never shall we part,
For He is ever near, always here
Living in my heart.
