The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the earth
The Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the people everywhere you see
Joy to you and me
The lyrics of David O. Russell's "Joy to the World" are a celebratory song of the coming of Jesus Christ as the King of the world. It is a song of rejoicing and gratitude for the birth of the Messiah, and calls for all hearts to make room for him. The chorus repeats the phrase "Joy to the world" several times, emphasising the joy and happiness that comes with the arrival of Christ.
The first two stanzas of the song echo the biblical story of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The lyrics ask the earth to receive her king and make room for him in their hearts. It is a call to all people to celebrate the coming of Jesus and to prepare a place for him in their hearts. The third stanza speaks of the universal power of the Savior, who reigns over all creation. Men, fields, floods, rocks, hills, and plains are called upon to join in and celebrate the coming of Jesus.
The final stanza broadens the celebration of the coming of Jesus to all people, with a focus on "boys and girls" and "people everywhere." The song's message of joy and celebration emphasizes the idea that the birth of Jesus is a reason for all people to come together and rejoice.

+Guy Incognito 🎩 trailers better than the actual film
*inhales deeply*
It really wasn't that bad, JetsovrTaylor in my opinion. Good acting from Jennifer Lawrence, the rest was adequate but not remarkable or memorable.

This movie evokes the child in everyone. Having a dream. Chasing that dream. Making that dream a reality despite the bullshit and fuckery that is thrown at you. Truly, one, of the most inspiring movies of the century.

Will Shogren
Not really.
Flower Child
Masterpiece. By far her best performance. She should’ve gotten her Oscar for this role. Absolutely stunning.
