joy. Lyrics
[Verse 1: Luke Smallbone]
Lately, I've been reelin', watchin' the nightly news
Don't seem to find the rhythm, just wanna sing the blues
Feels like a song that never stops
Feels like it's never gonna
[Refrain: Joel Smallbone]
Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones
Before my hard heart turns into stone
So won't somebody please pass the megaphone?
I'll shout it on the count of three
(One, two, three)
[Pre-Chorus: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Oh, hear my prayer tonight, I'm singin' to the sky
Give me strength to raise my voice, let me testify
Oh, hear my prayer tonight, 'cause this is do or die
The time has come to make a choice
And I choose
[Chorus: Joel Smallbone, Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Joy
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
Yeah, I choose joy
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
[Verse 2: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Yeah, back when I was younger, my eyes were full of life
But now that I am older, I live at the speed of light
Feels like the cycle never stops
Feels like it's never gonna
[Refrain: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones
Before my hard heart turns into stone
So won't somebody please pass the megaphone?
I'll shout it on the count of three
(One, two, three)
[Pre-Chorus: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Oh, hear my prayer tonight, I'm singin' to the sky
Give me strength to raise my voice, let me testify
Oh, hear my prayer tonight, 'cause this is do or die
The time has come to make a choice
And I choose
[Chorus: Joel Smallbone, Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Joy
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
Yeah, I choose joy
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
[Post-Chorus: Joel Smallbone]
Though I walk through the valley in the shadow of night
Oh, with You by my side, I'm steppin' into the light
I choose joy
Let it move you, let it move, let it move you
[Bridge: Luke Smallbone]
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart (Mm-mm)
Down in my heart to stay
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart (Mm-mm)
Down in my heart to stay
But I choose
[Chorus: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
Joy
Let it move you, when you let it move, oh, let it move you
Oh, I choose joy
Let it move you, oh, let it move, let it move you
[Post-Chorus: Joel Smallbone]
Though I walk through the valley in the shadow of night
Oh, with You by my side, I'm steppin' into the light
I choose joy
Go let it move you, go let it move, go let it move you
Oh, I choose joy
[Outro: Joel & Luke Smallbone]
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart (Mm-mm)
Down in my heart to stay
I need that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart (Mm-mm)
Down in my heart to stay
