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
