Song Lyrics

Joy, joy, God's great joy
Joy, joy, down in my soul
Sweet, beautiful, soul saving joy
Oh, joy, joy in my soul

Joy, joy, God's great joy
Joy, joy, down in my soul
Oh, sweet, beautiful, soul saving joy
Oh, joy, joy in my soul

Early in the morning, before the break of day
I asked the Lord to make me whole
He holds me and the Lord keeps me
Oh, joy, joy in my soul

Listen, when I get weak and I can't go on
Thank you, Jesus, I feel all my hope, all my joy is gone
Late in the midnight hour I talk to my God
And He gives me joy, joy in my soul, thank you Jesus

(One of these all mornings), one of these all mornings it won't be very long
You just might look for me, but I'm going on home
(Listen, listen) I'm going up to glory (oh yes, I am) where I'm gonna sing and shout
Oh joy, (oh joy) joy in my soul

Can y'all help me sing joy
(Joy, joy) God's great joy
Sing it like you mean it
(Joy, joy) down in my soul (down in my soul)
It is sweet, beautiful, soul saving joy
(Oh, joy) joy in my soul
(Oh joy) joy in my soul

(Oh, joy) joy, in my soul
(Oh, joy)
Oh, joy (oh, joy)
Oh, joy (oh, joy)
Oh, joy (oh, joy)
Do you know what I call Him? Listen!
The Master's joy (the Master's joy)
My Master, my Master's joy, yeah, yeah, yeah , yeah
Listen, my Savior's joy (my Savior's joy)
Yes, He is, you know what else He is?
The lily of the valley (the lily of the valley, joy)
Thank you, Jesus, listen, Alpha and Omega, joy (Alpha and Omega, joy)
Listen, in the midnight hour (in the midnight hour, joy)
You know He does, He gives me strength and power (He gives me strength and power, joy)
Listen what I like, listen, no food on the table (no food on the table, joy)
Thank You, Jesus, I know that He is able (I know that He is able, joy)
And you know I can't find the word to say, you what I say, hey hey hey (hey hey hey, joy)
Hey hey hey, joy
Oh, joy (oh, joy)
(Hey, joy)
Do you have that joy? Do you have that joy?
The Master's joy (the Master's joy)
My Savior's joy (my Savior's joy)
The lily of the valley (the lily of the valley, joy)
Can I get a witness? Can I get a witness?
Can I have some joy? Oh, joy, (oh joy) joy in my soul
