Chorus - I have this joy -- Joy unspeakable
That flows inside -- full of Glory -- I just can't hide
One thing I know -- and it's for sure
That you can't take -- my joy
Material things can be taken away
By the ones that I'm slow to pay
Some even try and will deceive
To take my faith away but never
succeed
There's something else -- I know -- And it's for sure
That you can't take my joy

This joy that I have removes all my doubts
This joy calms my fears
Oh what sweet such wonderful joy
It lifts you up -- and dries all my tears

This joy makes me love all your enemies
This joy makes me love all your friends

It'll put a smile on your face -- when there's somebody always trying to take your place

This joy that I have the world didn't give it to me
This joy that i have the world can't take it away
It'll make me love everybody
He'll put a smile on your face

One thing I know -- and it's for sure
That you can't take -- my joy

Can't take it -- You can't take my joy
Can't take it -- You can't take my joy
