Jesus, Joy of the Highest Heaven Songtext
von Keith & Kristyn Getty

Jesus, joy of the highest heaven
Born as a little baby
Under a wondrous star
Like us, crying, He takes His first breath
Held by His mother, helpless
Close to her beating heart

Jesus, laid in a lowly manger
Facing a world of dangers
Come to turn me a stranger
Into a child of God

Jesus, joy of the highest heaven
Born as a little baby
Under a wondrous star
Like us, crying, He takes His first breath
Held by His mother, helpless
Close to her beating heart


Jesus, laid in a lowly manger
Facing a world of dangers
Come to turn me a stranger
Into a child of God

Jesus, King of the highest heaven (King of highest)
Learning to take His first steps
That He might bring us life (bring us life)
Like us, knowing our smiles and sorrows (and sorrows)
He showed the way to follow
A way that is true and right

Jesus, take away every darkness
Steady my simple footsteps
That I might, in Your goodness
Live as a child of God

Jesus, take away every darkness
Steady my simple footsteps
That I might, in Your goodness
Live as a child of God
