From Pain To Joy

All of my bad times are behind me Nothing but good love here to remind me Through all my trials, you are my best friend My heart was bleeding and you just took me in I'm so glad I got a second chance to love You took me from pain (Pain), to joy (Joy) Unspeakable joy (Unspeakable joy) unspeakable joy I know the lord must've sent you boy You took me from pain (Pain), to joy (Joy) Unspeakable joy (Unspeakable joy), unspeakable joy God sent you boy Now there is a bright light in me that's shining Guiding my feet so I can keep climbing Up any mountain that is before me 'Cause you say you love me, what's more you adore me Feels good to get a second chance to love You took me from pain (Pain), to joy (Joy) Unspeakable joy (Unspeakable joy), unspeakable joy I know the lord must've sent you boy You took me from pain (Pain), to joy (Joy) Unspeakable joy (Unspeakable joy) unspeakable joy God sent you boy Lord I was feelin' so bad, I was always sad I didn't have no money, nowhere to go My friends, should I say who I thought was my friends They wouldn't answer my phone calls I was walking pregnant in the snow trying to get a record deal You know how bad it can get sometimes Never thought I'd get out of pain And I know a lot of you felt the same But I'm standing here today to testify I-I-I-I-I, I got joy, in the morning I got joy, in the evening I got joy, in the midnight hour I got joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy So much joy I, I got so much joy See one day I was walking along the street with my head down so low This brother stopped me, pat me on the shoulder And told me it ought not to be so low He took his little hand and lifted up me chin And to tell the truth I've been looking up ever since then I ain't seen my feet since I don't know when I got joy, in the morning I got joy, in the evening I got joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy... So much joy, so much joy Oh, I hope I never have to sing about pain again And somebody oughta say amen (Amen, amen) I said it feels good to feel good It feels nice to feel nice I knew you were looking out for me Lord But sometimes it just got so hard (Pain) I know the Lord I know the Lord would renew my strength But I was getting a little impatient 'Cause I had been waiting so long And I had just been done so long (Joy) But now I've got joy I hope you find some joy
