Joy
Tori Harper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tears try to drown it out
When you're walking through the fire
When the voices drag you down
But you can't fight it 'cause you're tired

I can feel it is rising inside my soul
I surrender it all, let You take control
'Cause

Your joy is greater than a thousand sorrows and
Your love will conquer all of my tomorrows
It fills my heart, the sound of Your song
And now I'm dancing all day long
Ooh, I love to feel Your joy, oh
Oh, I love to feel Your joy oh

It will find you in the deep
When you think there's no way out
It is comfort, it is peace
And you're never gonna hear a more beautiful sound

I can feel it is rising inside my soul
I surrender it all, let You take control
'Cause

Your joy is greater than a thousand sorrows and
Your love will conquer all of my tomorrows
It fills my heart, the sound of Your song
And now I'm dancing all day long
Ooh, I love to feel Your joy, oh
Oh, I love to feel Your joy, oh

It's always there, I feel it now
It fills me up, I pour it out
It's always there, I feel it now
It fills me up, I pour it out
It's always there, I feel it now
It fills me up, I pour it out
It's always there, I feel it now
It fills me up, I pour it out

Your joy is greater than a thousand sorrows and
Your love will conquer all of my tomorrows
Your joy is greater than a thousand sorrows and
Your love will conquer all of my tomorrows
It fills my heart, the sound of Your song
And now I'm dancing all day long
Ooh, I love to feel Your joy, oh
Oh, I love to feel Your joy, oh




Oh, I love to feel Your joy, oh
Oh, I love to feel Your joy, oh
