Joy

W/M: Nicol Smith, Todd Smith, and Angela Smith



Every breath of air

Was a silent prayer

I was longing for Your face



And I wondered why

All the years went by

Without a single trace



Anticipating, Lord, we've been waiting

Just watching the days come and go

But now we know



Joy and the angels sang

There was joy

Let the whole world know this

Joy, our King has finally come

Joy, here is the promised One



Set the captives free

Tell the broken reed

Hope has been restored

And the one who cries

For a wandering child

Her tears are not ignored



Father in heaven,

You gave us reason to see past the pain of today

We celebrate



Chorus



Unending hope for all time

When the King of the ages arrived



Chorus
