"Give Me That Joy" lyrics

I'm feeling weak from when I'm waking up
Between the left and the right where You taken us
Even our dollar bills say in God we trust
But somehow that's just not enough
But He lit me with that fire
You can see it burning in my eye
Since He pulled me from the muck and mire
That muck and that mire

God, I'm so tired of the opinions
They telling me how I should be living
You knew my heart
Right from the start
My faith is more than just a feeling

So give me that joy when they give me that funk (Hey!)
They want me looking down but I keep on looking up (Hey!)
They keep on telling me I need to give You up (Hey!)
I could give it all and it still won't be enough

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (Down in my soul)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (No, I won't let You go)

Wait a minute, hold up (Hold up)
Freedom is free
Ever since they nailed hope to a tree
How can we can we get over (Over)
The sinner in you
Pointing-pointing at the sinner in me (Yeah)
Me hands down, you gloves up
Put hate down, pick love up (Yay)
Tryna wash in the blood and get my suds up
I got my eyes to the Son before the sun's up
Before the sun's up

God, I'm so tired of the opinions
They telling me how I should be living
You knew my heart
Right from the start
My faith is more than just a feeling

So give me that joy when they give me that funk (Hey!)
They want me looking down but I keep on looking up (Hey!)
They keep on telling me I need to give You up (Hey!)
I could give it all and it still won't be enough

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (Down in my soul)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (No, I won't let You go)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (Yeah, down in my soul)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (No, I won't let You go)
Mire
Mire
Mire

Yeah, He lit me with that fire
You can see it burning in my eye
Since He pulled me from the muck and mire, yeah
Oh, that fire
You can see it burning in my eye
Since He pulled me from the mire
I'll praise You, Adonai

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (Down in my soul)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (No, I won't let You go)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (Yeah, down in my soul)
So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy (No, I won't let You go)
