[Intro]
It's been a lot going on
Let's bring some joy back

[Verse 1]
I can't hide it (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I know that this is real 'cause it's giving me the feels
Can't deny, no (Uh, even if I wanted to)
I can't explain it, hard to contain it
And it won't leave me alone (You think I'm tripping when you see me 'cause God got)
Got me smiling through the pain, dancing the rain
Got my mind blown (It don't make no sense)
Yeah, I know (And now you wondering)

[Pre-Chorus]
How you keep it moving (Yep)
It's the joy of the Lord (You're asking)
What keeps you smiling? (It's the joy of the Lord)
It's the joy of the Lord (It's the joy of the Lord)
How you keeping it togther?
It's the joy of the Lord (Ha, I know what it is)
Yeah, I know just what it is
It's that joy I'm speaking of

[Chorus]
Joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy)
He's giving me (Giving me), he's giving me
Joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), yeah (Joy), woo, woo got it
I got joy in the morning, yeah, it's coming, need no warning
The world didn't give it (The world didn't give it)
Can't take it away (Can't take it away)
Joy (It's the joy of the Lord)
Joy (It's the joy of the Lord)
What you see (It's the joy of the Lord)
He gave it to me (It's the joy of the Lord)

[Bridge]
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about

[Verse 2]
All of the times He came through for me (Too many to count)
Can't count the way that He made for me
It's the reason I'm feeling what I been feeling inside (This love hit different)
It's got me caught up in a vibe (Yeah, yeah)
Lift my hands, tell my worries goodbye (I ain't worried, I know)
It's gon' be alright (It's gon' be alright)
All alright (It's gon' be alright, but everybody keeps asking)

[Pre-Chorus]
How you keep it moving (Tell 'em)
It's the joy of the Lord (They can't figure out)
What keeps you smiling? (But you know)
It's the joy of the Lord (Baby girl)
How you keeping it together?

Yeah, I know just what it is (That joy)
It's that joy I'm speaking of (Woo)

Joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy, joy, joy), joy (I'm so glad)
He's giving me (Yeah), he's giving me
Joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), joy (Joy), yeah (Joy, it was not for a long time)
I got joy in the morning, yeah, it's coming, need no warning
The world didn't give it (The world didn't give it)
Sure can't take it away (Can't take it away)
Joy (It's the joy of the Lord)
Joy (It's the joy of the Lord)
What you see (It's the joy of the Lord)

It's the joy of the Lord (It's the joy of the Lord)

Joy is coming in the morning
You can can have it if you want it (It's the joy of the Lord)
It ain't no price on it (No)

Make you look twice, don't it? (It's the joy of the Lord)
'Cause I got the joy of the Lord
