[Verse 1]
Little hands in mine
You ask me what joy is
Is it toys
Is it dreams
Is it all the stuff we wish
I smile and shake my head
Say
“It’s closer than you think
It’s in the arms that hold you
In the love that makes you sing”
[Chorus]
Listen to the voice inside your heart
That gentle whisper calling in the dark
God is in the laughter round this table
In every hug
In every simple day
He made us to be happy in His presence
Love will light the way
[Verse 2]
We’ll chase the waves at dawn
Get muddy in the rain
Share stories in the silence
Let tears wash out the pain
Every moment shared
Becomes a doorway wide
Where heaven touches earth
Where His joy can come alive
[Chorus]
Listen to the voice inside your heart
That gentle whisper calling in the dark
God is in the laughter round this table
In every hug
In every simple day
He made us to be happy in His presence
Love will light the way
[Bridge]
Happiness is people
Happiness is grace
Finding God in faces
In every time and place
Child
You are a treasure
More than you can see
Where our love is given
There His joy will be (oh)
[Chorus]
Listen to the voice inside your heart
That gentle whisper calling in the dark
God is in the laughter round this table
In every hug
In every simple day
He made us to be happy in His presence
Love will light the way
He made us to be happy in His presence
Love will light the way
