Just Jinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A one two three four
I am overjoyed
That you and I have met
One moment was enough
To know that I'm in love
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
Since we joined our souls
I've become myself
One moment was enough
To know about my love
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
Everything you are is everything I need
Everything you are is what I want
To save me from myself
And everybody else owes you
You know they do
Play it Anth
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
Sing it now
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed
I'm overjoyed, I am overjoyed

if there is grace in this world
if there is light on this earth
let us use it
let us see it
starting right now
can we be down with ourselves
respectful and mindful of one, of one another
your significant other
your sister your brother
peace, love, more tolerance
faith hope, trust in the same name of god
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
thats not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
is there relief up ahead
cos judgement and hearing await
a weight on our minds to bear
a shame on our heads to wear
where is salvation in love
now that we have what we want
now that we have our wars
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
thats not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
with a little bit of ease and a little bit of calm
acceptance is the key to all we know
what about a stir of compassion and leaneance
what about some understanding
what about some sympathy
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
thats not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
freedom, kindness, warm deliverance, comfort, mercy

Jesus is the only way, the only truth and the only life.
With Him there is love, hope, peace, deliverance, faith, comfort, salvation.
When He found me, I had no reason to look back.
He is who the world needs. A broken world needs Jesus.
Amen ❤🔥

@Tamara-lw8rr
Exactly my thoughts😭 Heard this song on East Coast Radio yesterday and it’s funny cause I’ve known this song for a long time but never paid attention to the lyrics. It was only yesterday that I heard the message and it truly cut deep
@andreminnaar77
This message should become a Anthem
@dietmarhenke1914
Heard this song today the first time after I met Ard personally here in Brazil. What a kind man and what a great musician! Thank you for making my day!

God Bless South Africans 🇿🇦
