This joy that I have
The world didn’t give it
And the world can’t take it away
The world can’t take it away

This joy that I have
The world didn’t give it to me
I said the world didn’t give it to me
I said the world didn’t give it to me
And the world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)

The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)

Disappointment can’t take it away (The world can’t take it away)
Not happening, no somebody can’t take it away (The world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away

The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
This joy in my heart (the world can’t take it away)

Isn’t anybody grateful tonight (the world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away
Depression can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)

Low self esteem won’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
The world can’t take it away (the world can’t take it away)
Now open up your mouth and praise (the world can’t take it away)

Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah
Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

The joy, the joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy, the joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength

Oh-oh-oh, He is my hope
(Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh, He is my hope
(Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh, He is my hope

(I can face tomorrow ’cause He is my hope)
Oh-oh-oh, He is my hope
(May not understand it all, but I’m grateful that You are)
Oh-oh-oh, He is my hope
(Don’t understand it all but I don’t have to ’cause You are)
Oh-oh-oh, He is my hope

(The Joy) the joy, the joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength
