Joy

Breakthrough
Break-in
Crawling under my skin
Where do I even begin to begin

Consistently pouring more and more of myself from an empty glass
While they continue to take and take without ever giving back

Spent so long trying to please them
Involved in constant mayhem

Some of my reactions weren't always good
Just a lonely man misunderstood

I pleaded for help
Nobody came
Now they look at me
In complete shame

If I spend my time focused on opinions
I'll miss my chance to bask in His dominion

That reigns and rules
Above all everything
Yes it is true
He is my everything

But over the years
I lost my identity
Had so many people tryna tell me who I need to be
When all the while I knew who held the key

To the dreams you shown me
Are now clear in front of me

Taken me a while to see
But God I believe

Spent some time on my own
To know I'm never really alone

And with my soul under attack
I gotta get my joy back

There were days that I couldn't breathe
Empty
Shallow
Feeling incomplete

Every word that was spoken
(Turns out was a lie)

Promises made then were broken
(As they said bye-bye)

I gave away my power
Instead of running into the strong tower

Didn't recognize who I even was
Until the sun shined down from above

And reminded me who held the key

To the dreams you shown me
Are now clear in front of me

Taken me a while to see
But God I believe

Spent some time on my own
To know I'm never really alone

And with my soul under attack
I gotta get my joy back

Stronger than I've ever been
Victorious I'll always win

Sent to kill and to destroy
Never will you keep my joy

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away

This ole joy
This ole joy
This ole joy
This ole joy

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away

This ole joy that I have of mine
The world didn't give it
And the world can't take it away
