Verse 1

There are troubles
There are trials
Round every turn
Though that cold wind
Won't stop blowing
There's a fire in my bones

Pre Chorus

And it keeps me going
Keeps me going
Keeps me going on

Is my strength
And my song
That sweet melody
In my soul all day long
No matter what comes
I just keep going on
Cause the joy of the Lord
Is my strength and my song

Post Chorus

Til the trumpet sounds
And the bells are ringing
Til He calls me home no
I won't stop singing

Verse 2

For every question
There's an answer
For every problem
There's a prayer
But greater is He
That lives within me
Than all the trouble
Here in this world

In my soul all day long

Is my strength and my song

And the bells are ringing
Til He calls me home no
