Joy, Joy, Joy

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jim Lauderdale

A Robert Hunter lyric recorded by Jim Lauderdale

A dozen times a day I stop and thank the Lord for you
For all the kindness that you bring, for all the things you do
When I was being tested, when my trials seemed much too hard
You brought joy, joy, joy into my heart

Chorus
Joy, joy, joy, you bring
Joy, joy, joy, you bring
Joy to my heart
Joy, joy, joy, you bring
Joy, joy, joy, you bring
Joy to my heart

Whatever train you came on is the train that I'll take home
Your head upon my shoulder as the sun is sinking low
I always am reminded when the stars come out to shine
You bring joy, joy, joy and peace of mind

[chorus]

I don't like to think about the long and lonely road
I walked upon till you arrived to help me share the load
Lingering in the darkness till you came to be my wife
You brought joy, joy, joy into my life

[chorus]
You bring joy to my heart
