[Lyric] Joy (Howard Hewett)

[Verse 1]
So many times I hear people crying 'bout their lack of true happiness
My philosophy is can we face our lives in something as fleeting as this?
Like the waves of the ocean, this emotion comes and it goes
A mist of time we share, grasping thin air
I need so much more to keep holding on

[Chorus]
God gave me joy, it’s everlasting from up above
(Joy) Unceasing, continuously
(Joy) Joy comes in the moment, hold on
(Joy) Let no one take away your
(Joy) Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Faith in salvation, eternal life is ours
He fills us with all our heart desires
Ask and it's given, promises to me
When those of Heaven came home, there's joy abundantly, yeah

[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Hold me, feel me
Life is wonderful, it comes from Heaven above
Cleanse me, fill me with Your love
This wonderful gift from Heaven above
Completely living in your
[Chorus]
(Joy) Hoo, hold on
(Joy) I thank You, Heavenly Father, for giving me
(Joy) So many ups and downs of life, yeah, yeah
(Joy) In my time

[Outro]
You’ve given me joy, yeah
Ah, ho (Joy)
Hoo-ooh, giving, living in your
(Joy) Hallelujah, my-my-my-my
(Joy) Praise His name, praise His name, say Jesus
Loving, caring, joy
Come on, call His name, the power of Jesus
Put His blessing on my life, yeah
(Giving, loving, joy)
Yes, He is, the living Son of God
Jesus (Loving), loving me (Caring) every day (Joy)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Joy)
Ooh yeah (Joy)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Come on say... (Joy)
