Give me the oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise
That I may walk beside thee Lord
And love you all my days
That I may learn to trust you Lord
With a faith that always stays
Give me the oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise.
As I walk along the road of life
There are some things I can't control
And when problems come as problems will
To wrench my very soul
When times of deepest sorrow
Come upon me like a sea
Watered with the tears that flow
Lord, you are all I need.
So in my weakness Lord, I come to you
And bow my knees in prayer
With assurance of your presence Lord
Knowing you will meet me there
And when doubts come as they sometimes will
I lift up my voice to thee
For your strength to hold me up
This is my earnest plea:
Give me the oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise
That I may walk beside thee Lord
And love you all my days
That I may learn to trust you Lord
With a faith that always stays
Give me the oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise.
