Death Defying Joy Lyrics by Andy Squyres

2023

Death Defying Joy written and performed by Andy Squyres, produced by Jacob Early
[Verse 1]
Like the wind I don’t know
Where you’ve been or where you go
You’re an unpredictable
Cloud of clarity
Like a fire burning low
I saw you in the early glow
Like some kind of beautiful
Only the blind can see
[Chorus]
Don’t change your plans on my account
I finally got you figured out
Faith is not provoked without
A world of irony
If you hear your name in vain
It is me looking for you again
Crushed beneath the Spirit wind
From glory to glory
[Verse 2]
Tongues of fire on my head
All my assumptions are dead
Scandal is the daily dread
I must eat with you
Pressure of the surgeon’s knife
You have always been precise
A bull in the china shop of my life
Always breaking through
[Chorus]
Don’t change your plans on my account
I finally got you figured out
Faith is not provoked without
A world of irony
If you hear your name in vain
It is me looking for you again
Crushed beneath the Spirit wind
From glory to glory
[Bridge]
In you I am empty
In you I am full
In you I am with living with or
Without miracles
In you in your presence
Struck down but not destroyed
Live or die I am filled
With death defying joy
In you I am empty
In you I am full
In you I am with living with or
Without miracles
In you in your presence
Struck down but not destroyed
Live or die I am filled
With death defying joy
[Verse 3]
Somewhere on the altar of
Broken dreams and shattered love
A burden of your mercy runs
Like a river on the vine
And everything I used to know
Is a table you turned over so
My meager cup would overflow
From water into wine
