Lyrics

My soul is joy­ful in the Lord;
His light shines all around;
For Je­sus is my life, my way;
His love in me ab­ounds.

Refrain

I am walk­ing, walk­ing in the light,
The truth, the light, the way;
I am walk­ing, walk­ing in the light,
The beau­ti­ful light of God to­day.

His blood has cleansed me from all sin;
I’m ev­ery whit made whole;
And life and light shine now with­in,
And glo­ry fills my soul.

Refrain

My life is hid with Christ in God;
My bread is in His Word;
My meat and drink His right­eous­ness,
In Him I live and move.

Refrain

I care not for this world be­low;
It has no charms I love;
I live by faith and faith alone;
I seek a home ab­ove.
