I have the love of Jesus
And it's deep down in my soul.
I have a joy I never knew,
Since Jesus took control.
I have a thorn that I must carry
That gives me grief and pain.
Sometimes my tears are heavy,
But still I lay no blame.
My tears are often happy tears
From blessings I have gained.
For God has given me good friends
And for this I give Him praise.
My friends have kept me going
By love and constant prayer.
And some day up in Heaven
They will earn a crown to wear.
My God will not forsake me
For He's in my heart today.
No matter how rough the road may get,
My God will guide my way.
