Koryn Hawthorne's song 'Joy' is a contemporary Christian track about finding lasting joy and peace in God rather than in material possessions or people. The lyrics describe turning to God during difficult times, giving Him pain, and experiencing a deep, unexplainable joy that sustains through trials. The song emphasizes God's consistency and faithfulness when everything else changes. It reflects a personal testimony of discovering that worldly things cannot bring true peace, but God's presence brings joy that can be felt deeply.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

When I sit all by myself

When I got no one else

Out of all the things I'm searching for

You remain the same

And I really don't know why

But people switch up all the time

But you got that consistency

And that'll never ever change


Even when it gets rough

You are the one I look to

You are the one I always call

Dark days when it's too much

All of my pain I give you

In you I found my peace

I can feel it in my veins now

I can make it through the pain now

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) You bring me joy (Joy)

I never could explain it

But I never wanna' change it

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) You bring me joy


I filled up my closet with so many things that I adore

But none of those things can bring me peace

When tears are falling on the floor

So I looked up to heaven

And asked god where to start

'Cause the cars and clothes and fancy things

Can't bring joy to my heart


Even when it gets rough

You are the one I look to

You are the one I always call

Dark days when it's too much

All of my pain I give you

In you I found my peace

I can feel it in my veins now

I can make it through the pain now

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) You bring me joy (Joy)

I never could explain it

But I never wanna' change it

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) You bring me joy (Joy)


You've been so good

You've been so good

I got joy

The world didn't give it to me

I got joy

I got joy

Unspeakable joy


I can feel it in my veins now

I can make it through the pain now

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) You bring me joy (Joy)

I never could explain it

But I never wanna' change it

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) You bring me joy (Joy)


(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)

(Joy)
