NOTES: "Down in My Heart" or "I've Got the Joy" is a public domain gospel attributed to George Willis Cooke (April 23, 1848-April 30, 1923), no date is known. Cooke was born in Comstock, Michigan. He was a Unitarian minister, writer, and editor and is well known for his landmark history of the Unitarian movement in the 19th century. Though largely self-taught, he studied at Meadeville Theological School in 1872. He was ordained in June of that year, not having obtained a degree from the school. He served the parish ministry for 28 years, while writing and editing. He left the ministry in 1900 to pursue scholarship and lecturing. He authored more than 20 books on a wide range of subjects.
Popular in contemporary Christian services and as a campfire song, "Down in My Heart"
has a similar form to "In My Father's House."
Down in My Heart- George Willis Cooke
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart (Where?)
Down in my heart (Where?)
Down in my heart
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart (Where?)
Down in my heart to stay.
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart (down in my heart)
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart
Subsequent lyrics include:
I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart...
I've got the happy hope that heckles heathens down in my heart...
I've got the far out faith that freaks out farmers down in my heart...
I've got the glorious hope of my Blessed Redeemer way down in the depths of my heart...
I've got the mighty Messiah that manifests miracles down in the depths of my heart...
I've got the Bible Beliefs that baffle the Buddhist way down in the depths of my heart...
Well, if the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack...
I've Got the Love Of Jesus Christ My Savior down in my heart...
