   Lyrics

   Before the mountains found their place Before the sun had shown its face Before a single word was spoken here He laid the footings of the earth He measured out its ancient girth And joy was born before there was a fear Who set the cornerstone in place Who stretched the line across all space While darkness waited for the light to come And in that moment, in that hour Before there was a throne or power Creation found its voice and joy begun When the morning stars sang together When the sons of God shouted for joy Heaven and earth were singing forever Before there was a girl or a boy Joy was the sound of the first light breaking Joy was the song the whole universe made And the joy that rang out at the world's awaking Still rings out today, it will never fade He set the sea its boundary line He hung the stars, He called them mine He breathed the wind into the waiting trees And every living, breathing thing Was made to dance, was made to sing Was made to know this kind of joy and peace When the morning stars sang together When the sons of God shouted for joy Heaven and earth were singing forever Before there was a girl or a boy Joy was the sound of the first light breaking Joy was the song the whole universe made And the joy that rang out at the world's awaking Still rings out today, it will never fade I was not there to see it start But the echo still is in my heart The joy that made the heavens ring Is still the joy You give to me I was not there to see it start But that same joy is who You are The joy that made the heavens ring Is still the joy You give to me When the morning stars sang together When the sons of God shouted for joy Heaven and earth were singing forever Before there was a girl or a boy Joy was the sound of the first light breaking Joy was the song the whole universe made And the joy that rang out at the world's awaking Still rings out today, it will never fade Before the world began Joy was already Yours to give Before the world began This is the joy in which I live

   Under the tent by the terebinth tree Three strangers came and Sarah listened close She heard the promise, she began to laugh Behind the tent flap, no one else would know A baby, now, at ninety years of age It seemed a joke too impossible to hold But nothing is too hard for God to do That's what the stranger said, that's what she was told The seasons turned, the promise did not fade And in the spring, just as the Lord had said A baby's cry rang out across the camp And Sarah held the son she'd never dreamed She named him Isaac, laughter was his name A living proof that God does what He says No womb too old, no promise held too long For Him who made the morning and the days God has made laughter for me Everyone who hears will laugh with me Who would have said, who could believe Sarah would nurse a child at ninety-three This is the sound of joy fulfilled This is the sound of a promise kept God has made laughter for me Joy that was worth every year I wept How many nights she wondered if He'd forget How many years the promise seemed delayed But heaven's timing is not our own And joy arrives in its appointed day So if you're waiting on a word He gave If it feels foolish, if it feels too late Remember Sarah laughing by the tent And trust the God who never comes too late God has made laughter for me Everyone who hears will laugh with me Who would have said, who could believe Sarah would nurse a child at ninety-three This is the sound of joy fulfilled This is the sound of a promise kept God has made laughter for me Joy that was worth every year I wept Is anything too hard for the Lord Is anything too far for His hand Is anything too old, too far gone For the God who keeps every plan Is anything too hard for the Lord Is anything too far for His hand Sarah's laughing, and I am laughing too Because I finally understand God has made laughter for me Everyone who hears will laugh with me Who would have said, who could believe Sarah would nurse a child at ninety-three This is the sound of joy fulfilled This is the sound of a promise kept God has made laughter for me Joy that was worth every year I wept God has made laughter for me God has made laughter for me

   The water stood like walls of glass The people walked where none had passed Behind them, Pharaoh's army came But ahead of them, the Lord had made a way All night the wind was blowing strong All night He held that sea so long And when the morning light broke through His people stood on ground both dry and new The chariots rushed into the sea The waters closed, and Egypt ceased to be The Lord had fought, His people watched Him win No sword was drawn from any hand of men And when they turned to see the shore The fear they carried was no more It turned to singing, turned to praise It turned to joy that would not fade for days I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed The horse and rider thrown into the sea He is my strength, He is my song He has become my victory Miriam, take up your tambourine Dance on the shore where we are free Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed This is the sound of a people set free The women danced, the timbrels rang The children laughed, the elders sang A nation born in bondage found its feet And walked in joy toward the promised land This is the story every soul should know There is a sea, there is a place to go Where chains fall off and fear gives way To joy that rises with the break of day I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed The horse and rider thrown into the sea He is my strength, He is my song He has become my victory Miriam, take up your tambourine Dance on the shore where we are free Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed This is the sound of a people set free Who is like You among the gods Majestic in holiness, mighty to save Who is like You, glorious in power You split the sea, You split the grave Who is like You among the gods Majestic in holiness, mighty to save Who is like You, glorious in power You split the sea, You split the grave I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed The horse and rider thrown into the sea He is my strength, He is my song He has become my victory Miriam, take up your tambourine Dance on the shore where we are free Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed This is the sound of a people set free Sing to the Lord, He has triumphed Dance on the shore, we are free

    Before the dawn, the women came To a tomb still sealed with grief and stone But the earth began to shake beneath them And the stone was rolled, the guard was overthrown An angel sat where death had settled Said, Why look for the living with the dead He is not here, He has risen Just as He said, go now, go and spread the news They ran with fear, but greater joy Running fast to tell the ones they knew And then He met them on the road And said, Do not be afraid, it's true They fell before Him, held His feet The One they thought they'd never see again And every fear they carried melted Into joy too big to hold within He is risen, He is risen Fear is giving way to great joy He is risen, He is risen Death has lost the one it tried to destroy Run and tell it, run and tell it The tomb is empty, the grave has no hold He is risen, He is risen This is the story that never gets old Behind locked doors, the frightened few Were hiding from the world outside But Jesus came and stood among them Said, Peace be with you, and showed His side Then were the disciples glad Seeing the Lord they thought they'd lost Joy came crashing through their sorrow Life had conquered every cost He is risen, He is risen Fear is giving way to great joy He is risen, He is risen Death has lost the one it tried to destroy Run and tell it, run and tell it The tomb is empty, the grave has no hold He is risen, He is risen This is the story that never gets old Where, o death, is your victory Where, o death, is your sting He has risen, He has risen Death has lost, and joy is king Where, o death, is your victory Where, o death, is your sting He has risen, He has risen Death has lost, and joy is king He is risen, He is risen Fear is giving way to great joy He is risen, He is risen Death has lost the one it tried to destroy Run and tell it, run and tell it The tomb is empty, the grave has no hold He is risen, He is risen This is the story that never gets old He is risen indeed This is our great joy

    Lyrics

    He led them out as far as Bethany He lifted up His hands and blessed them there And while He blessed them, He was carried Up and away into the open air They watched Him go until a cloud received Him Their eyes still fixed on where He used to stand And though the sky had taken Him from sight They felt the weight of blessing in that land You'd think their hearts would break in that departure You'd think they'd stand there empty, lost, afraid But they worshiped Him instead of weeping And turned toward home with joy that wouldn't fade They knew a promise still was coming They knew the story wasn't at its end So they returned to Jerusalem rejoicing Continually praising, blessing Him again They worshiped Him and returned with great joy Returned with great joy, returned with great joy Continually praising, continually blessing They worshiped Him and returned with great joy He is not gone, though He is not seen He is not far, though He's out of sight They worshiped Him and returned with great joy Waiting on the promise, walking in the light Sometimes our joy must live in waiting Sometimes the promise hasn't come just yet But joy was never only for the seeing Joy is for the trusting, for the debt Already paid, already settled Already sealed by blood upon the cross So even in the space of His ascending Nothing about His love for us was lost They worshiped Him and returned with great joy Returned with great joy, returned with great joy Continually praising, continually blessing They worshiped Him and returned with great joy He is not gone, though He is not seen He is not far, though He's out of sight They worshiped Him and returned with great joy Waiting on the promise, walking in the light Every promise He has made Every word He's ever said Is worth the waiting, worth the joy That rises up instead of dread Every promise He has made Every word He's ever said Is worth the waiting, worth the joy That rises up instead of dread They worshiped Him and returned with great joy Returned with great joy, returned with great joy Continually praising, continually blessing They worshiped Him and returned with great joy He is not gone, though He is not seen He is not far, though He's out of sight They worshiped Him and returned with great joy Waiting on the promise, walking in the light Returned with great joy Waiting on the promise

    Lyrics

    The Spirit came down like a mighty wind And a fire that fell but never did burn skin They spoke in tongues, the whole city heard Three thousand souls received the Word They broke their bread with glad and generous hearts No one held back, everybody did their part Selling what they had to meet a brother's need This is what it looks like when a church is freed They met every day in the temple courts Praising God, favor of every sort The Lord kept adding to their number still Joy was the evidence, joy was the seal Love, joy, peace, patience growing strong Kindness, goodness, faithfulness all along Gentleness, self-control, the fruit is clear When the Spirit lives, He plants the joy right here Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit Glad and generous hearts overflow Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit This is the fruit that the Spirit will grow Love and joy and peace inside us Nothing the world could ever buy Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit Joy that the enemy can't deny Even when they faced the persecution Even when the road got hard and tight The disciples still were filled with gladness Filled with the Spirit, filled with light This ain't a joy that comes and goes This ain't a feeling built on circumstance This is the fruit a rooted life will grow This is the Spirit's own inheritance Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit Glad and generous hearts overflow Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit This is the fruit that the Spirit will grow Love and joy and peace inside us Nothing the world could ever buy Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit Joy that the enemy can't deny The fruit of the Spirit is joy The fruit of the Spirit is joy Growing in me, growing in you The fruit of the Spirit is joy The fruit of the Spirit is joy The fruit of the Spirit is joy Growing in me, growing in you The fruit of the Spirit is joy Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit Glad and generous hearts overflow Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit This is the fruit that the Spirit will grow Love and joy and peace inside us Nothing the world could ever buy Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit Joy that the enemy can't deny Filled with joy, filled with the Spirit This is the fruit He grows in me

    Lyrics

    I write this letter from a chained-up cell But my heart is far from bound Every time I think of you, I'm thankful Every prayer I pray is full of joyful sound I've learned to be content in any season Whether little, whether much, or nothing at all I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me He is holding me, He'll never let me fall Even if my life is poured out like a drink offering Even if this all should come to cost I will still rejoice, and I'll rejoice with all of you For nothing done for Him is ever lost So you rejoice as well, and share this gladness Let it spread from heart to heart, from friend to friend This joy was never made to sit and settle It's made to move, to rise, to never end Rejoice in the Lord always Again I say, rejoice Rejoice in the Lord always Let it be your steady voice Not because it's easy Not because there's no more pain But because He's always faithful Rejoice in the Lord again Whatever's true, whatever's right and lovely Whatever's pure and worthy of your praise Think on these, and let your mind be guarded By a peace that guards you all your days The God of peace will walk beside you In plenty or in need, He's still the same So lift your voice up from whatever prison Rejoice again, and call upon His name Rejoice in the Lord always Again I say, rejoice Rejoice in the Lord always Let it be your steady voice Not because it's easy Not because there's no more pain But because He's always faithful Rejoice in the Lord again I can do all things Through Christ who strengthens me I can do all things Through Christ who strengthens me Whatever state I'm in I have learned to be content I can do all things Through Christ who strengthens me Rejoice in the Lord always Again I say, rejoice Rejoice in the Lord always Let it be your steady voice Not because it's easy Not because there's no more pain But because He's always faithful Rejoice in the Lord again Rejoice in the Lord always Again I say, rejoice

    Lyrics

    Count it all joy when trials come For the testing of your faith builds up your soul Though you have not seen Him with your eyes You love Him still, and joy has made you whole Inexpressible and glorious joy Filling every corner of your heart This is not a joy the world can measure This is a joy that heaven had a part For the joy that was before Him Jesus endured the cross, despised the shame He sat down at the Father's right hand And now He calls us to rejoice in His name He is not ashamed to call us family He has run the race that we could never run So let us run with endurance, fixing Our eyes on Him, the joy that's just begun Everlasting joy, everlasting joy Shall be upon our heads forever Sorrow and sighing will flee away Everlasting joy, forever and ever A new heaven and a new earth are coming God Himself will wipe away every tear No more death, no more mourning, no more crying Everlasting joy is finally here I saw a new heaven and a new earth The old had passed away and was no more I saw the holy city coming down Like a bride made ready for the door And I heard a voice from the throne say Behold, I'm making everything brand new God will dwell with them, and they'll be His people And every tear will find its ending too Everlasting joy, everlasting joy Shall be upon our heads forever Sorrow and sighing will flee away Everlasting joy, forever and ever A new heaven and a new earth are coming God Himself will wipe away every tear No more death, no more mourning, no more crying Everlasting joy is finally here From the morning stars that sang at first To the joy that's waiting at the end Every song of joy has been a whisper Of the joy that never has to end From the morning stars that sang at first To the joy that's waiting at the end Every song of joy has been a whisper Of the joy that never has to end Everlasting joy, everlasting joy Shall be upon our heads forever Sorrow and sighing will flee away Everlasting joy, forever and ever A new heaven and a new earth are coming God Himself will wipe away every tear No more death, no more mourning, no more crying Everlasting joy is finally here Everlasting joy Forever and ever Everlasting joy This is our forever
