"Joy" by For King and Country Song

Today I'd thought I'd post about a song that I have really been enjoying lately. It's a relatively new song, called "Joy". This song is For King and Country's newest single they released. You might want to listen to the song while reading the lyrics, because you might not quite understand some of the phrasing until you do. ;)

Here's the lyrics:

Lately, I've been reading, watching the nightly news

Don't seem to find the rhythm, just wanna sing the blues

Feels like a song that never...stops

Feels like it's never gonna 

Gotta get that fire, fire, back in my bones

Before my heart, heart, turns into stone

So will somebody please pass the megaphone 

I'll shout it on the count of three

One, two, three

Oh, hear my prayer tonight, I'm singing to the sky 

Give me strength to raise my voice, let me testify

Oh, hear my prayer tonight, 'cause this is do or die

The time has come to make a choice

And I choose joy

Let it move you, let it move you, let it move you

Yeah, I choose joy

Let it move you, let it move, let it move you

Yeah-eh, back when I was young, my eyes were full of life

But now that I'm older, I live at the speed of light

Feels like the cycle never...stops

Feels like it's never gonna

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of night

Oh, with You by my side, I'm stepping into the light

I choose joy

Let it move you, let it move, let it move you

I need that joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay

I need that joy, joy, joy, joy 

Down in my heart, down in my heart to stay

This song is amazing! The words in this song I think we really need in today's culture. With everything that's going on, this song couldn't have been released at a better time. This song talks about choosing joy- not just being happy when things go your way. With Jesus' peace in our hearts, we can brave any storm, and still have His joy in our hearts. Joy isn't based on physical circumstances. 

Here's the song! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
