1. Once I was lost in this old world of sin and sorrow
Once I was lost in this old world without a friend
Once I was lost to my own selfish way of living
Then Jesus came and He took my hand
(Chorus)
Now there is joy, yes real real joy, because of Jesus
He filled my heart with happiness, Oh praise His name
I am so glad that Jesus lives now and forever
Oh, what a joy, He's always the same.
2. Once I was looking for a better way of living
Once I was looking for the one to guide my way
Once I was looking for a love that is unending
Then Jesus came t'was a wonderful day.
(Chorus)
Now there is joy, yes real real joy, because of Jesus
He filled my heart with happiness, Oh praise His name
I am so glad that Jesus lives now and forever
Oh, what a joy, He's always the same.
