What Is This Joy

What Is This Joy

[Chorus]

Woah

Woah

What is this joy?!

Woah

Woah

What is this joy?!

1. I touched a thread, and you healed me.

I took a step on the raging sea;

You broke that bread, then you filled me.

What is this feeling? Somebody, tell me!

I was in the grave, till you called my name.

Drawing in the sand, you erased my shame.

At the waters edge, until you said,

“Take up your bed,” and I took up my bed!

And something good,

Good is happening!

[Chorus]

You caught me by surprise,

Amazed me.

Feel it in my soul,

What is this joy?!

With every breath

That you give me,

Gonna shout it out,

“What is this joy?!”

You fill me up with wonder,

And I wonder now, 

What is this joy?!

Woah, Woah, 

What is this joy?!

Woah, Woah

What is this joy?!

2. You took up the cross

And set me free.

When the lions roared,

You stood by me.

With the spit and dirt

You touched my eyes;

I once was blind,

Now I can see

That something good,

Good is happening!

[Chorus]

You caught me by surprise,

Amazed me.

Feel it in my soul,

What is this joy?!

With every breath

That you give me,

Gonna shout it out,

“What is this joy?!”

I may weep at night

In the shadows;

When the morning comes,

What is this joy?!

When the battle strikes 

And I’m surrounded,

Gonna sing it out,

“What is this joy?!”

You fill me up with wonder,

And I wonder now,

What is this joy?!

Woah, Woah, 

What is this joy?!

Woah, Woah

What is this joy?!

[Chorus]

Something good, good is happening!

Good is happening!

Good is happening!

Good is happening!

Good is happening!

Good is happening!

Good is happening!

Good is happening!

AUDIENCE / CHOIR (repeats until end of bridge) 

God is good,

Good is happening!

God is good,

Good is happening!

God is good,

Good is happening!

God is good,

Good is happening!

You run to me

When I’m far from home,

You’re the morning light

When the mourning comes.

You’re in every breath,

You’re in every step,

You’re the finish line,

The Author with the pen.

You are my joy,

You are my song,

You’re the morning light

When the mourning comes.

You’re in every breath,

You’re in every step,

You’re the finish line,

Beginning and the End.

Savior and my Friend,

You’re the great I Am,

You are good.

Good is happening!

[Chorus]

You caught me by surprise, 

Amazed me.

I feel it in my soul,

What is this joy?!

With every breath

That you give me,

Gonna shout it out, 

“What is this joy?!”

I may weep at night

In the shadows;

When the morning comes,

What is this joy?!

When the battle strikes 

And I’m surrounded,

Gonna sing it out,

“What is this joy?!”

You fill me up with wonder,

And I wonder now,

You fill me up with wonder

And I wonder now,

What is this joy?!

Woah, Woah, 

What is this joy?!

Woah, Woah

What is this joy?!
