119 (509) The joy of my salvation Is the joy of knowing You, Your sweet presence near to me Is the strength that holds me true. When You're near I see Your hand In so many little things, And each moment that I share with You Helps my faith grow bigger wings. That feeling when You're near, Lord, I want nothing to destroy, And I'll not flirt with any sin That would take away my joy. When You're near I'm confident That I'm following Your Son, And the things I ask I know You'll grant Because our hearts are one. When You're near I see so clear What things are right and wrong, And that makes me glad, for I'd not do Anything to grieve Your Son.
