Voices of Fire featuring Pharrell Williams sing 'Joy (Unspeakable),' a gospel song about the deep, indescribable joy that comes from faith in God. The lyrics emphasize that this joy is not dependent on circumstances but is a gift from God that can sustain believers through hard times. The song encourages listeners to praise God even when they struggle to articulate their blessings, and it affirms that God can lift heavy spirits and bring light to dark situations. The repeated declaration of joy as 'unspeakable' highlights its profound and supernatural nature, rooted in a relationship with God.

Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy (Uh)
Joy, joy, joy, joy (Yeah)
Unspeakable-speakable
Don't mean it's unreachable
I'll go where He leads me to
More synonyms, I'm gon' need a few
Lately, I've had a hard time
Ain't been satisfied when I testify
Wanna make sure I'm sharp when I make the point of view
When them blessings come through (I'm clear then)
And even though I'm clear (When you do it again)
They must understand the point of view
The last word doesn't come from the doctor
Who's the world that the doctor comes out of?
Just keep praying beyond the last hour
Now you've witnessed the procedure of power
Mumbling to myself, must think I'm crazy
But I'm humbling myself and I'm giving praise
Fumbling God in myself, they don't what I'm saying
If you crumble and need help, I know who can raise you
Unspeakable-speakable
Don't mean it's unreachable
I'll go where He leads me to
More synonyms, I'm gon' need a few
Lately, I've had a hard time
Ain't been satisfied when I testify
Wanna make sure I'm sharp when I make the point of view
When them blessings come through (I'm clear then)
And even though I'm clear (When you do it again)
They must understand the point of view
Said I couldn't change that, that's another life
But I scrubbed like Ajax, I've stayed on my grind
I was way (Way back), now I'm front of line
Was I s'posed to say that? Ain't tryna undermine
Mumbling to myself, must think I'm crazy
But I'm humbling myself and I'm giving praise
Fumbling God in myself, they don't what I'm saying
If you crumble and need help, I know who can raise you
Unspeakable-speakable
Don't mean it's unreachable
I'll go where He leads me to
More synonyms, I'm gon' need a few
Lately, I've had a hard time
Ain't been satisfied when I testify
Wanna make sure I'm sharp when I make the point of view
When them blessings come through (I'm clear then)
And even though I'm clear (When you do it again)
They must understand the point of view
Dark situations can make them much brighter, yeah, yeah, yeah
If your spirit's weighed down, He can make them much lighter, yeah
You're just takin' off, you can go higher
Now let the joyful water fill your eyes up
Lately, I've had a hard time
Ain't been satisfied when I testify
Wanna make sure I'm sharp when I make the point of view
When them blessings come through (I'm clear then)
And even though I'm clear (When you do it again)
They must understand the point of view
Oh, I've got (Joy)
Wonderful (Joy)
Great joy (Joy)
Powerful (Joy)
Oh, I'm talkin' 'bout (Joy)
In the morning, I got joy (Joy)
In the noonday, I got joy (Joy)
And late in the midnight hour (Joy)
I got joy
When them blessings come through
(When them blessings come through)
When them blessings come through
(When them blessings come through)
When them blessings come through
(When them blessings come through)
Yeah (Joy)
This joy that I have (Joy)
World didn't give it, and the world (Joy)
Can't take it away, I got it (Joy)
I got it, I got it (Joy)
In my walk (Joy), in my talk (Joy)
In my home (Joy) or my job (Joy)
Enormous joy (Joy), wonderful joy (Joy)
Indescribable joy (Joy), unspeakable joy (Joy)
If you want it, you can have it (Joy)
If you need it, you can have it (Joy)
Love, peace (Joy)
Joy, joy (Joy)
When them blessings come through
(When them blessings come through)
When them blessings come through
(When them blessings come through)
When them blessings come through
(When them blessings come through)
Come get (Joy) your joy (Joy)
Thank God for joy (Joy)
Thank you, God, for your joy (Joy)
Power, peace (Joy)
Joy (Joy, Joy)
Joy (Joy)
