I Want The Joy
Rita Springer's song "I Want the Joy" is a heartfelt worship piece expressing a deep desire for the joy of the Lord to fill and transform the singer's life. The lyrics repeat a simple, earnest plea for God's joy to come, fall, lift, and change, emphasizing a personal longing for divine presence. The song also includes a declaration that it's time to dance over past graves, give God the highest place, and lift one's voice to ask for His blessing. This reflects a theme of surrender and renewal, inviting God's joy to bring breakthrough and restoration.
I want the joy of the Lord to come now
I want the joy of the Lord to fall now
I want the joy of the Lord in my life
I want the joy of the Lord lift me
I want the joy of the Lord change me
I want the joy of the Lord in my life
It's time I started dancing over all these graves
It's time I gave you all my God the highest place
It's time I lift my voice
And beg for His blessing to fall
