Joy

(People are sometimes confused about prayer

And that's the saddest thing for me

Because people think it's only when something goes wrong, that's when you pray)

This one might leave you teary-eyed

This one gon' keep you flyin' high

This one gon' get you through the night

This song is called 'Joy'

Sweet joy

I had to conquer my fears

I had to wrestle with faith

I made some plans for the future

Them plans kept showing up late

That lead to joy

Sweet joy (Sweet joy)

Became a stranger to friends

But real pally with my doubts

I had to lose the bigger picture just to figure me out

To find some joy (All we need is a little joy)

Sweet joy

La la, la la la la la la la

La la la la la

Joy

Tell somebody, say

La la, la la la la la la la

La la la la la

Joy

The CEO of excuses

The prince of masking my pain

I used to high-five my woes

I used to know them by name

Till I found joy

Oh sweet joy

Ah

Maybe I was trippin'

Could've been the pressure

Maybe I'll stop seeking all these earthly pleasures

Maybe I'll find joy, sweet joy (Sweet joy)

Oh

(La la, la la la la la la la

La la la la la) We're just searching for some joy

Oh joy

Grab somebody, anybody, say yeah

(La la, la la la la la la la

La la la la la) I just found my joy, oh yeah

Joy

(So, my source of joy has not been from the things I have

But it's been from being in His presence)

Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring

'Cause we got joy, sweet joy

Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring

'Cause we got joy, sweet joy

Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring

'Cause we got joy, sweet joy

Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring

'Cause we got joy, sweet joy

Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring

'Cause we got joy, sweet joy

Don't you worry what tomorrow may bring

'Cause we got joy, sweet joy
