Southern gospel quartet/written with Darin Martin
Story behind the song
Darin sent me some lyrics which I liked immediately...so I added a verse to his...a melody, some harmony and a happy quartet song was born...indeed "the joy of the Lord is our strength"
Lyrics
I'd really like to tell you about the joy I have today
But I'm feeling kinda speechless...not sure what I should say
I've got a peace that no one else can ever take away
It's the happiness of the Lord that makes me feel this way
Since Jesus came into my life I have not been the same
Well the devil lost a good right arm and shakes his head in shame
Like David after God's own heart, I can't control my feet
It's a celebration that has got me dancing in the street
It's His joy...His unspeakable joy
Oh the joy...in my soul
It's His joy...His unspeakable joy
Praise the Lord His joy has made me whole
Someday we'll stand in heaven and look upon His face
He'll say well done my children, you've run a faithful race
We'll cast our crowns down at His feet, on that awesome day
In tongues of angels we will speak, His grand and glorious praise
It's His joy...His unspeakable joy
Oh the joy...in my soul
It's His joy...His unspeakable joy
Praise the Lord His joy has made me whole
Well the joy that comes from our salvation's absolutely free
And I've heard that it's unspeakable...but it's shouting out in me!
It's His joy (it's His joy)...His unspeakable joy
Oh the joy (oh the joy)...in my soul
It's His joy (it's His Joy)...His unspeakable joy
Praise the Lord His joy has made me whole
It's His joy (it's His joy)...His unspeakable joy
Oh the joy (oh the joy)...in my soul (in my soul)
It's His joy (it's His Joy)...His unspeakable joy
Praise the Lord His joy has made me whole
Praise the Lord His joy has made me whole
Praise the Lord His joy has made me whole
