Joy (lyrics)

(A song by the Newsboys)

You give me joy that's unspeakable

And I like it, and I like it

You're love for me is irresistible

I can't fight it, I can fight it

If life is water, I was dry as Tucson dirt

If it's a gamble I already lost my shirt

If it's a journey I was dazed without a clue

I flipped a "U" back to the first love I ever knew

You give me joy that's unspeakable

And I like it, and I like it

You're love for me is irresistible

I can't fight it, I can fight it

You carried the cross and took my shame

I believe it, I believe it

You shine your light of amazing grace

I receive it, I receive it

If life's a battle the invasion is complete

If it's a rhythm I have found the perfect beat

If it's a renaissance I've got a new birthday

The world don't give it and the world can't take it away

You give me joy that's unspeakable

And I like it, and I like it

You're love for me is irresistible

I can't fight it, I can fight it

You carried the cross and took my shame

I believe it, I believe it

You shine your light of amazing grace

I receive it, I receive it

I bowed and broken, everything's new

All that I need, your like water to seed

And how your love rights everything wrong

And in my weakness you're every stronger

You're pulling me back where I belong

You give me joy that's unspeakable

And I like it, and I like it

You're love for me is irresistible

I can't fight it, I can fight it

You carried the cross and took my shame

I believe it, I believe it

You shine your light of amazing grace

I receive it, I receive it
