Joy

Joy
Music by Peter Furler
Lyrics by Steve Taylor & Peter Furler

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it. And I like it, yeah.
Your love for me's irresistible.
I can't fight it. I can't fight it, yeah.

If life is water, I was dry as Tucson dirt.
If it's a gamble, I'd already lost my shirt.
If it's a journey, I was dazed without a clue.
I flipped a "U" back to the first love I ever knew.

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it. And I like it, yeah.
Your love for me's irresistible.
I can't fight it. I can't fight it, yeah.
You carried the cross and took my shame.
I believe it. I believe it, yeah.
You shine Your light of amazing grace.
I receive it. I receive it, yeah.

If life's a battle, the invasion is complete.
If it's a rhythm, I have found the perfect beat.
If it's a Renaissance, I've got a new birthday.
The world don't give it
And the world can't take it away.

I'm bowed and broken. Everything's new.
All that I need, You're like water to seed.
And how Your love rights everything wrong.
And in my weakness
You're ever stronger.
You're pulling me back where I belong.

You give me joy that's unspeakable
And I like it. And I like it, yeah.
Your love for me's irresistible.
I can't fight it. I can't fight it.
You carried the cross and took my shame.
I believe it. I believe it.
You shine Your light of amazing grace.
I receive it. I receive it.
