Joy, joy, joy
This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
There's beauty for my ashes
The oil of joy for sadness
I can't fight it
Something's been ignited
No, I won't hide this
Joy, when I praise it sounds like joy
When I say Your name
There's a joy that's unspeakable
From a love that's inconceivable
Through sorrows and storms
I've got the joy, joy, joy
No matter what comes I'm still believing
Hope is secure in the name of Jesus
Praise will be on my lips
God gave me a promise
I can't fight it
Something's been ignited
No, I won't hide this
It's down in my heart
It's down in my heart
It's down in my heart to stay
No, the world didn't give it
So, the world can't take it away
