Joy

(album: Everything Is Changing - 2015)

I might be halfway through this valley,
and my eyes just can't see a quick way out
And it might seem life's got it out for me,
like I'm in way too deep, but I have found:
Every single circumstance,
I can place in greater hands,
I won't let my trouble bring me down

I've got joy down in my soul,
I'm gonna take it everywhere I go,
not gonna worry 'bout what I don't know,
I'll be alright as long as I've got
Joy here in my heart,
waving like a torch fighting off the dark
in the jet black night I'm gonna see the stars,
I'll be alright as long as I've got joy!
Joy! Joy!

So I'll just cast my cares,
won't sink into despair,
I won't find answers there, only doubt
Every single circumstance,
I can place in greater hands,
God I know you'll never let me down

I've got joy down in my soul,
I'm gonna take it everywhere I go,
not gonna worry 'bout what I don't know,
I'll be alright as long as I've got
Joy here in my heart,
waving like a torch fighting off the dark
in the jet black night I'm gonna see the stars,
I'll be alright as long as I've got joy!
Joy! Joy!

Gonna be my strength, be my truth
Gonna light the way and see me through
Gonna be my hope, be my shield
Gonna lift me up no matter how I feel!
[x2]

I've got joy down in my soul,
I'm gonna take it everywhere I go,
not gonna worry 'bout what I don't know,
I'll be alright as long as I've got
Joy here in my heart,
waving like a torch fighting off the dark
In the jet black night I'm gonna see the stars,
I'll be alright as long as I've got joy!
Joy! Joy!
I'll be alright as long as I've got joy!
Joy! Joy!
I'll be alright as long as I've got joy!
