_ [Eb] MMMM.
All of my bad times are behind [Ab] me.
Nothing but good love can [Eb] remind me.
Through all my trials, you are my best [Ab] friend.
My heart was bleeding, and you just took [Eb] me in.
I'm second chance.
I'm free from [Ab] pain. _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ Lord, I was [Ab] feeling so bad.
[Eb] I was always sad.
_ I didn't have no money, [Ab] nowhere to go. _
[Eb] Friends _ should have said who I thought was my friend.
[Ab] Like, they wouldn't [Eb] answer my phone calls.
I was walking pregnant in the snow trying to get a [Ab] record deal.
You know how bad it can get sometimes.
[Ebm] _ I never thought I'd get out [Ab] of pain.
And I know a lot [Eb] of you felt the same.
But I'm standing here today to [Ab] testify. _
_ [Eb] _ _ I got in the morning, [Ab] I got in the evening, [Eb] I got in the midnight [Ab] hour.
I got _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] so _
[Ebm] much [Bb] joy.
I got [Eb] _ [Ab] so much joy.
[Fm] [Eb] See, one day I was walking along the street with my [Ab] hair down so low.
_ _ [Eb] This brother stopped me, pat me on the shoulder, [Ab] and told me it all about the flow.
[Eb] He took a little hand and lifted up my chin.
[Ab] _ _
And to tell you the truth, [Eb] I've been looking up ever since [Ab] then.
I ain't seen my feet since [Ebm] I don't know [Eb] when.
I got in the [Ab] morning, I got in [Eb] the evening, I got in the midnight [Ab] hour. _
_ _ [Eb] _ I _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Bbm] [Eb] got so much joy.
I got so much joy.
So much joy.
[Ab] I know the Lord must have sent you [Eb] off.
[Eb] I hope I never have to say my [Ab] name again.
And [Eb] somebody ought to say amen.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
I [Eb] say that feels good to feel.
[Ab] It feels nice to feel.
[Eb] _ I knew you [Ab] were looking out for the Lord.
But [Eb] sometimes it just got so hard.
_ [Ab] _
I know the [Eb] Lord, I know the Lord would renew my strength.
[Ab] But I was getting a little impatient.
Because I [Eb] had been [Fm] waiting for [Eb] so long.
And I [Ab] had just been done so [Eb] hard.
But now I got joy.
[Ab] I hope you find some joy.
