Joy - Whitney Houston/Georgia Mass Choir
Whitney Houston · The Preacher's Wife OST
The sound of the angels
Come and see the child
Who can make you whole
Lying in a manger
Away from harm and danger
[Chorus:]
Oh joy in my soul
Oh joy, joy down in my soul
Sweet beautiful soul saving joy
Oh joy, joy, joy in my soul
Joy, joy, joy in my soul oh
He sent from up above
This special gift of love
More precious than silver or gold
He was sent this holiday
To take our pain away
[Repeat Chorus]
Go tell it on the mountain
Shout it from a valley
Tell about the baby in swaddling clothes
Men in every nation
Join the celebration
Way down deep joy
Joy, joy, joy
I've got joy
Way down deep inside my soul joy
Unspeakable joy
Joy in my soul
