Can you hear me Lord Can you hear me Can you hear me Lord Oh, Can you hear me 'Been cryin' out, cryin' out your name Was I callin' you, callin' you in vain? Oh, Can you hear me Lord, hear me Lord? Oh, Can you hear me? I got joy like a River in my Soul I got joy like a River in my Soul I got Joy like a river I got Joy like a river I got Joy like a river in my Soul I can see clear the Mountain right ahead (See clear) I can see clear the troubles right ahead (See clear) But I know my joy will stay Always with me along the way Cause I got joy like a River in my Soul Some done told me that I do not belong Some done told me that you do not belong But we know what lights the way And will show us where to lay Cause we got joy like a River in our Souls We got joy like a River in our Souls We got Joy like a River (Let the joy take you away)
