Give Me That Joy

I'm feeling weak from when I'm waking up

Between the left and the right where you taken us

Even our dollar bills say, “In God we trust”

But somehow that's just not enough

But He lit me with that fire

You can see it burning in my eye

Since He pulled me from the muck and mire

That muck and that mire

God, I'm so tired of the opinions

They telling me how I should be living

You knew my heart, right from the start

My faith is more than just a feeling

So gimme that joy when they give me that funk

They want me looking down, but I keep on looking up

They keep on telling me I need to give You up

I could give it all and it still won't be enough

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my soul

Gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

No, I won't let it go

Wait a minute, hold up, freedom is free

Ever since they nailed hope to a tree

How can we can we get over the sinner in you

Pointin', pointin' at the sinner me, yeah

Me, hands down, you, gloves up

Put hate down, pick love up, yeah

Tryna wash in the blood and get my suds up

I got my eyes to the Son before the sun's up, before the sun's up

God, I'm so tired of the opinions

They telling me how I should be living

You knew my heart, right from the start

My faith is more than just a feeling

So gimme that joy when they give me that funk

They want me looking down, but I keep on looking up

They keep on telling me I need to give You up

I could give it all and it still won't be enough

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my soul

Gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

No, I won't let it go

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

Yeah, down in my soul

Gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

No, I won't let it go

(Fire, eye, mire)

Yeah, You lit me with that fire

You can see it burning in my eye

Since He pulled me from the muck and mire, yeah

Oh, that fire

You can see it burning in my eye

Since He pulled me from the mire

I'll praise You, Adonai

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my soul

Gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

No, I won't let it go

So gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

Yeah, hey, down in my soul

Gimme that joy, joy, joy, joy

No, I won't let it go
