“Our faith guarantees us permanent access into this marvelous kindness that has given us a perfect relationship with God. What incredible joy bursts forth within us as we keep on celebrating our hope of experiencing God’s glory! But that’s not all! Even in times of trouble we have a joyful confidence, knowing that our pressures will develop in us patient endurance. And even more than that, we overflow with triumphant joy in our new relationship of living reconciled to God—all because of Jesus Christ!” Romans 5:2-3, 11 TPT

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him

Once I was a stranger
To God and His ways
Thinking He could not love me
Because of my sinful days
But Jesus called me to be His
And all that fell away

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him

Jesus took my sinful self
And nailed it to His cross
It died with His last breath
Stayed in the grave forever
We rose again in brand new life
To be with God, right by His side

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him

Jesus took my sin hardened heart
And gave me a new loving one
He gave me a new spirit
Joined to his Holy One
And made me One with Him
On His eternal throne!

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him

Jesus’ holiness and righteousness
Have made me right with God
Given me His intimate relationship
With our Father God
For all He is He’s given to me
I’m His beloved bride

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him

All the light that flows from heaven
The forgiveness, love, peace and joy
Now fill my daily horizons
As by God’s side we sit
Bringing Heaven’s rule to this earth
As Our daily ministry

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him

When trials try to darken our days
It is to heaven we turn and gaze
For God’s solutions are not ours
And only He really has the answers
And the power to keep us steadfast and strong
Even through the most difficult challenge

There is a joy eternal
Which no circumstance can change
The joy of knowing God as His child
Fully reconciled to Him
