Motto song of the Hope Worldwide Bible Camp 2022 --- Singing: Lisa Kisser Music: Shawna Belt Edwards (courtesy) Text: Patricia Rosenthal Video material: VideoBlocks.com --- Joy in the LORD When everything seems dark, the world united by war, When epidemics and hunger sweep through the lands. When hopes fade, one's own mistakes torment. When effort and lack sap one's strength. Then I take your hand and hold on tight to you. Your peace fills my heart, for you are always with me! Joy in the LORD, it makes me strong. Joy through Jesus day after day In you I have everything, whatever may come. Joy in the LORD, it makes me strong. Nothing is too difficult for me, as long as you are always with me. No treasure, no anchor gives me this support. Joy flows from me to all the people here. A loud call resounds from heart to heart. And soon, when you come, you will take us home through Jesus, your Son, to your Father's house. Joy in the LORD, it makes us strong. Joy through Jesus day by day. That all people see how you create new life. Joy in the LORD is our strength! Father, you are our song! Our hearts are full of... Joy in the LORD, that makes us strong. Yes, full of joy through Jesus day by day. That all people see how you create new life.
