Joy in the Battle

I'm just a man who's lost some things and left with memories
I'm just a man who's growing older
I've made some friends along the way, I've made some enemies
But I pray they're all good in their soul

I've seen the reasons, and the meanings, and the seasons change
I've seen the magic come and go
I fell in love with shiny things, I thought would warm me up
I felt the heat when it turned cold

All over me, you want my peace, but you won't get it
I hear that devil steady knockin' at my door
I'm just a man who's lost some things and left with memories
Still, I believe there's so much more

'Cause I've got joy in the battle
I've got joy in my victory
I keep my eyes to the Heavens
So my joy never slips from me

You shouldn't let yourself get tangled up in worry
'Cause that kind of living takes its toll
You gotta take that pencil back, rewrite your story
And write the best one ever told

All over me, you want my peace, but you won't get it
I hear that devil steady knockin' at my door
I'm just a man who's lost some things and left with memories
Still, I believe there's so much more

'Cause I've got joy in the battle
I've got joy in my victory
I keep my eyes to the Heavens
So my joy never slips from me

Yeah, I got joy in the battle
I got joy on this journey set for me
Oh, and when they see me coming
They gon' see I got this joy all over me

(Yeah, yeah) have you ever seen a man dance with hell quick on his tracks?
Ain't looking back (yeah, yeah)
I've seen a lady scare the devil with the way she moves her feet
Now, look at that

Come on, and sing it with me
Have you ever seen a man dance with hell quick on his tracks?
Ain't looking back, no, no
That pretty lady scared the devil with the way she moves her feet
Now, look at that

I feel it all over me

Joy in the battle
I've got joy in my victory
I keep my eyes to the Heavens
So my joy never slips from me

Yeah, I got joy in the battle
I got joy on this journey set for me
Oh, and when they see me coming
They gon' see I got this joy all over me

'Cause I've got
Joy in my battles
Joy in my victories, yeah
When I keep my eyes to the Heavens
My joy never slips from me
