Joy – Lyrics - Buchi

I went to church one Sunday morning
And everybody was excited
They were dancing and rejoicing
You could see that they were happy

But in my world of pain and misery
Uncertainty and ‘sufferation’
I was feeling so dejected
But I wanted to be happy



There was this boy in particular
His two hands up in the air
He was lost in concentration
But on his face he had a smile

That was my moment of decision
The next day I went to see the Pastor
He spoke to me the words of Jesus
Come and I will give you rest

And ever since then I got
Joy, Joy, Joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy

Now in my heart I got
Joy, joy, joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy


They said that joy comes in the morning
But this is the morning of my life
The joy of the Lord has come upon me
It’s caressing my body and my soul

They said that joy comes in the morning
This is the morning of my life
They joy of the Lord is now inside me
Caressing my body and my soul

Now in my heart I got
Joy, joy, joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy

Now in my heart I got
Joy, joy, joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy


Day number seven they say is resting day
But this is the Sabbath of my life
The peace of the Lord is now upon me
Caressing my body and my soul

They said that Saturday is resting day
But this is the Sabbath of my life
The rest of the Lord is now inside me
Caressing my body and my soul

Now in my heart I got
Joy, joy, joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy

Now in my heart I got
Joy, joy, joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy

Now in my heart I got
Joy, joy, joy
Yes my heart is full of
Joy, joy, joy
Alleluia I got
Joy, joy, joy
I only wanted to be happy
