Joy
Adel Salameh And K. Sridhar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been through a lot but I’m still here today
They aiming for me, but the grace in the way
Check out the drip man I ain’t come to play
I got a joy that you can’t take away
I took an L last year it was a blessing in disguise
I spent some time with the Lord found out He was on my side
I had friends jump ship when they told me they would ride
I was venting to my auntie and she told me not to cry (Woah)
My pastor told me to count my blessings
Man them church folk be messy
God by my side he never left me
Aye
You can’t take my joy
You can’t take my joy
You can’t take my joy
Goodness and favor surround me
I’m winning with people around me
I had some friends who had left me
Since they’ve been gone it’s blessings
You cannot stop me I’m on a new wave
A smile on my face they cannot take away
Each problem that comes I know will pass away
Im walking on promises God cannot break
Ohh
Do you believe your blessing is coming
Ohh
You can have it all but you can’t take my joy
You can’t take my joy
You can’t take my joy
You can’t take my joy
(Take my Joy, Take my Joy)
(Take my Joy, Take my Joy)
(Take my Joy, Take my Joy)




(Take my Joy, Take my Joy)
You can’t take my joy
