Story behind the song
This song is very personal to me! I wanted to express the "Joy" that i had on the inside of me about living for the lord Jesus and serving him! Life is so sweet and beautiful when you have a one on one relationship with him. He makes life worth living even in the toughest of times! Life becomes exciting when you know him in such a way. There is a reason to get up every morning and face whatever the day brings because the joy of the lord is my strength ( Nehemiah 8:10 ) I wanted the song to be different from anything i had ever done, to give it a broad appeal by the mixing of various styles. "r&b" "pop" "rock" "Gospel" these great and familiar combinations make up the mood of this song! I wanted to capture the sheer essence of the expression of the word "Joy" in song form. A song that compels and gives you pleasure when listening to it!
