We’re choosing celebration
Breaking into freedom
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts
We cast aside our shadows
Trust you with our sorrows
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts
We’re dancing to the rhythm of your heart
We’re rising from the ashes to the stars
You’re the Joy Joy Joy lighting my soul
The Joy Joy Joy making me whole
Though I am broken
I am running
Into your arms of love
The pain will not define us
Joy will reignite us
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts
The dark is just a canvas
For your grace and brightness
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts
In the shadows
In the sorrows
In the desert
When the pain hits
You are constant
Ever-present
