Oh!
 
 Love love, mm
 
 Love mercy, too
 
 It's God's goodness getting' me through
 
 Love joy
 
 It's the greatest thing
 
 A sweet expression in all I do
 
 Makes me want to cry when I'm happy, oh
 
 Keeps me laughin' some time when I'm sad
 
 When It's good It's so unspeakable
 
 I can't explain it
 
 Oh! Don't wanna lose it tryin' to figure it out
 
  
  Joy!
 
 (Joy is)
 
 Is a singable thing
 
 Sho' worth singin' about
  
 
 Not peace, mm
 
 It's not happiness
 
 It must somethin' rolled up in between
 
 Not sure but I do know
 
 What I get when I live my life clean
 
 I ain't got, no, all the answers, no
 
 This feelin' makes a singer of me , yeah
 
 It's true I can't explain it
 
 Oh and I've got to have it, yo!
 
 Throws a light on a shadow of doubt
  
 
 Joy!
 
 (Joy is)
 
 A singable thing
 
 Sho' worth singin' about,
 
 (About)
 
 Oh, I said joy!
 
 (Joy is)
 
 A melody ringin'
 
 From the inside out
 
 Whoo!
  
 
 Can't imagine it'd be too hard to have it
 
 When you're hangin' with the heavenly host, no, no, no, no, oh, oh
 
 But when I'm out there facin' down my troubles
 
 Well, I don't mind a present from the Holy Ghost
 
 Yay, yay, whoo!
  
 
 (Joy is a singable thing
 
 Sho' worth singin' about)
 
 Oh, yeah!
 
 Singin' about!
 
 (Joy is a melody ringin'
 
 From the inside out)
 
 Whoo! I'm talkin' 'bout joy!
 
 (Joy is a singable thing
 
 Sho' worth singin' about)
 
 I say that joy!
 
 (Joy is a melody ringin'
 
 From the inside out)
 
 Oh yeah!, Oh! Ah! Whoo!
