Verse 1

I have hope that is my Anchor
Oh the wind and waves may rage
But His Word keeps on holding me
I have peace
Beyond all measure
I found a joy that will never fade away

Chorus

And I've got joy down in my soul
I've got peace that I won't let go
Like a river rising higher
I've got joy I've got joy

Verse 2

I know mercy
That has triumphed
And now I stand redeemed
His blood has washed me clean
I know the Man
Who's conquered sorrows
He's the joy I found
That will never fade away

Chorus

And I've got joy down in my soul
I've got peace that I won't let go
Like a river rising higher
I've got joy I've got joy

Bridge

The river is rising rising rising
The river is rising rising rising
The river is rising rising rising
The river of joy the river of joy

Refrain

It's over my head it's over my head
It's over my head it's over my head
It's over my head it's over my head
The river of joy the river of joy

Chorus

And I've got joy down in my soul
I've got peace that I won't let go
Like a river rising higher
I've got joy I've got joy
