Chris Tomlin's rendition of the classic Christmas hymn 'Joy to the World' blends traditional verses with a modern chorus celebrating unspeakable joy. The song proclaims the arrival of the Lord and the Savior's reign, inviting every heart to prepare room for Him. It emphasizes that all of creation—heaven, nature, fields, floods, rocks, hills, and plains—joins in joyful praise. The added refrain speaks of an overflowing, inexpressible joy that rises in the soul and never lets go, reflecting the deep personal joy found in Christ's coming and His rule with truth and grace.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
That all their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Joy, unspeakable joy
An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
Rises in my soul, never let's me go
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Joy, unspeakable joy
And overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy
Rises in my soul, never let's me go
