A Hymn: His Joy, My Strength
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
Weeping will not save me by Robert Lowry
The Composed Song
1. Sometimes back I was within
Deep within a great sorrow
And there’s no way of escape
And I don’t know what to do
That my way is disordered
Refrain/Chorus
Jesus wipes my tears away
Jesus has given me joy
He gives me surpassing joy
And his joy is my strength.
2. Sometimes back tear has even been
My very food day and night
When enemy continually say
That where even is my God
That there is no way of escape
Refrain/Chorus
3. Like a sword inside my bones
Is reproach enemy reproach’d me
When they say everyday that
Thine God that you are calling
Can he even save thee?
Refrain/Chorus
4. I even said ‘to my God
Why hast thou forgotten me?
Why do I go on mourning
For the o‘pression of enemy?
Hasten quickly and save me
Refrain/Chorus
5. I have even have the hope
In my Rock of Salvation
I even calleth his name
He answered me in a great gathering
And my God hath saved me
Refrain/Chorus
6. My sorrow turneth to joy
My cry turneth to laughter
When God hath heareth my voice
And he answered my prayers
My sorrow turneth to joy
Refrain/Chorus
