Lyrics

We Have Joy <br />
by Marsha Stevens, copyright 1999 BALM Publishing/ASCAP <br />
Lots of this 1999 UFMCC General Conference theme song has come from Rev. Nancy Wilson’s sermons and from a long talk I had with Rev. Elder Don Eastman. Mostly it’s simply to be sung and enjoyed. <br />
<br />
You’ve told us in Your word You rejoice over us with song. <br />
You’ve made a way where there was none so we’d know that we belong. <br />
So now we’re here just celebrating jubilation’s powers, <br />
To share the revelation that in Your joy is ours. <br />
CHORUS: <br />
• We’re gonna have Joy, Your Joy, it’s how we know that we belong <br />
• We’ll have Joy, real Joy, this is our victory song <br />
• We hear the sound of Jesus’ laughter <br />
• We’re gonna live Happily ever after <br />
• Cause we have Joy, Your Joy that makes us strong. <br />
You’ve heard us call on You, now our exile is near the end, <br />
Much more than son or a daughter, for You have called us a friend. <br />
So now we long to tell your world in clear and simple ways, <br />
That You’re among Your people inhabiting their praise. <br />
(CHORUS) <br />
Celebrate our gaiety, join us in the jubilee of Joy <br />
• Your Joy, it’s how we know that we belong <br />
• We’ll have Joy, real Joy, this is our victory song <br />
• We hear the sound of Jesus’ laughter <br />
• We’re gonna live Happily ever after <br />
• Cause we have Joy, Your Joy that makes us strong. <br />
