Rich Mullins, Matt Maher, Mac Powell, and Ellie Holcomb join voices in 'The Joy of Jesus,' a blessing-like song that prays for listeners to experience the joy, grace, and love of God. The lyrics repeat simple, heartfelt petitions for these gifts to be with and in the hearer, along with wishes for dancing, laughter, and feeling God's embrace. The song's gentle, repetitive structure makes it suitable for congregational singing or personal reflection. It echoes biblical blessings such as the Aaronic benediction and emphasizes the relational warmth of knowing Christ.

And may the joy of Jesus be in you

And may the joy of Jesus be with you

And may you know joy of Jesus

And may the joy of Jesus be in you

May the grace of my God be with you

May you know the grace of my God

And may the grace of my God be with you

May the love of my Lord be with you

May you know the love of my Lord

And may the love of my Lord be with you

And may you dance and laugh and sing

May you know the warmth of His embrace

May you feel the brush of angel wings

Like the wind upon your face

May the joy of Jesus be with you

May you know the joy of Jesus

And may the joy of Jesus be with you

May the joy of Jesus be with you

May you know the joy of Jesus

And may the joy of Jesus be with you

May the joy of Jesus be with you

May you know the joy of Jesus

And may the joy of Jesus be with you
