"Joy" lyrics
(feat. Israel Houghton)
I've got the joy, got the joy
To the verse, say
I've got a river that's flowing inside
It's full of life, it's ever-growing
I've got a fire and it's always lit (It's lit!)
It won't go out, it's always burning
You've given me joy
It's unspeakable joy
Undeniable, unexplainable
I've got the joy of the Lord
(I've got a river, come on)
I've got a river that's flowing inside
It's full of life, it's ever-growing
I've got a fire and it's always lit (It's always lit) (It's lit!)
It won't go out, it's always burning
(Come on, I've got a river)
I've got a river that's flowing inside
It's full of life, it's ever-growing
I've got a fire and it's always lit (It's lit!)
It won't go out, it's always burning
(Come on, sing the chorus)
You've given me joy
It's unspeakable joy
Undeniable, unexplainable
I've got the joy of the Lord
(Joy deep in my heart)
Down in my heart (Yeah)
Deep down in my soul
Uncontainable, it's untameable
I've got the joy of the Lord
(I've got the joy, I've got the joy, I've got the joy)
(To the bridge say, come on)
I've got joy on the inside, come on
Feels like fire, can't keep it in (Come on, come on)
I keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(L.A., I think you can get a little louder, come on)
Yes I've got joy on the inside (Feel like, feel like, feel like)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in (Oh) (Yes, I keep, I keep praising)
I keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Come on let's turn it up) (I've got, I've got joy)
I've got joy on the inside (I have fire in my bones)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in (Oh-whoa)
I keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Come on, you can get a little lit, come on) (Oh)
I've got joy on the inside, come on
Feels like fire, can't keep it in (I can't keep it contained, no)
I keep praising in the midnight (Joy of the Lord)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Oo-oh) (Let's sing the verse, come on, say I've got)
I've got a river that's flowing inside (Come on, come on)
It's full of life (Come on, come on)
It's ever-growing
I've got a fire and it's always lit (It's lit!)
It won't go out, it's always burning
(One more time)
You've given me joy (Oh)
It's unspeakable joy (Unde-)
Undeniable, unexplainable (Come on)
I've got the joy of the Lord
The joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart
Down in my heart
Deep down in my soul (It's uncontainable)
Uncontainable, it's untameable (Woo)
I've got the joy
I've got joy on the inside (Jump, jump, jump)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in
I keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength (Oh, oh)
I've got joy on the inside (Feels like fire)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in (I'm like Paul and Silas, I'll keep praising)
I keep praising in the midnight (Joy)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(The Joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(The joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Ayy) Joy of the Lord is my strength (Clap, clap)
Hey, yeah yeah (Hey)
The world couldn't give it and the world can't take it away
The world couldn't give it and the world can't take it away
Oh
I'll keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength
I said the world couldn't give it and the world can't take it away
The world couldn't give it and the world can't take it away
I've got joy on the inside (Come on y'all)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in
I keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Hold on, hold on, hold on)
(Is got a song, it's like this)
I'm trading my sorrow, I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
(Okay, we've got some church kids out here, come on)
Oh, I'm trading my sickness, I'm trading my pain, oh
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
(Come on let's sing it again y'all, yes I'm trading my sorrow)
I'm trading my sorrows, I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
(Wha-na, na-na, na na, na-na, na-na, na na)
I'm trading my sickness (Anybody got some sicknesses) (Trading my pain)
I'm trading my pain (Oh-whoa, I'm laying it down)
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord (Wha-na, na-na, na na, come on, I've got joy)
I've got joy on the inside (Come on, come on)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in
I'll keep praising in the midnight
The joy of the Lord is my strength (Yea, yeah, yea)
I've got joy on the inside (Oh)
Feels like fire, can't keep it in (I can't keep it now)
I'll keep praising in the midnight (Joy)
The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Joy of the Lord is my-) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(If you got joy, then you get strength) The joy of the Lord is my strength
(Joy) The joy of the Lord is my strength
Wha-na, na-na, na na, wha-na, na-yeah, yeah, yeah
Somebody give Jesus some praise
