Lyrics Joy! translations
1. Joy!
Slowly something grows inside
A spark of joy in my heart
It only glows a little at first
It's hard to get started
But slowly it goes on
Does it reach a deeper layer
Blockades break open
and I feel liberated
Joy in my life
You brought joy to my life
Opened my eyes, showed me.
Joy in my life
You brought joy to my life
You renewed my heart, You set me free
The fire in my heart
Is ignited by Your grace
You put the smile on my face
And I feel you
Your warm embrace around me
Joy in my life
You brought joy to my life
Opened my eyes, showed me.
Joy in my life
You brought joy to my life
You renewed my heart, set me free
To my God everything is possible
He gives me everything I need
3. Two pillars
My heart cringes in pain
Seeing you suffer like this makes me so sad
We are like two pillars, each carrying our own burden
My mind finds no rest
Thoughts keep coming, it keeps on grinding in my head
We are like two pillars, each carrying our own burden
I miss your humor and your smile
You tell me it'll be alright
My prayer is for you the through the night
We are like two pillars, each carrying our own burden
When you suffer, I suffer too
When you cry, I cry too
We are like two pillars, each carrying our own burden
I miss your humor and your smile
You tell me it'll be alright
My prayer is for you through the night
He will lead us through the storm
We have never been alone in this
The bond with God that keeps us strong
The bond with God that keeps us strong
The bond with God that keeps us strong
2. When it's all gone
God has blessed me in so many ways
He gave me everything and showed me His grace
What more can I do than put my life in His hands
And show Him my gratitude
When everything falls away, God, can I hold on to my faith?
When everything falls away, can I still praise You?
Can I honestly say, He gives and He takes
Can I say, come what come, come what may
I know He will give me all the strength I will need
If I stay close to Him, He will make me strong
What can I do but put my life in His hands
And give Him my gratitude show
When everything falls away, God, can I hold on to my faith?
When everything falls away, can I still praise You?
Can I honestly say, He gives and He takes
Can I say, come what come, come what may
And though I'm scared
Not sure of anything
When I'm scared
I feel insecure
I choose to pray
I choose to say
come what come, whatever happens
When everything falls away, God, can I hold on to my faith?
When everything falls away, can I still praise You?
Can I honestly say, He gives and He takes
Can I say, come what come, come what may
4. Martha or Mary

I just keep going
Who do I want to be?
Who will I become?

5. When I look into your eyes
When I look into your eyes
Innocent and so pure
I feel a love deep inside me
That will last forever
You are a gift from God to me
I'm sure of it
And whatever will happen
My love lasts
I want to know you
I want to embrace you
I want to see you grow
I will love you

Shall I carry you on
Step by step we are on our way
And you will be safe
When we trust our Father
Keep him very close to us
Shouldn't we be afraid?
Whatever will come.

6. Jerusalem
The way to Jerusalem is easy
The way to Jerusalem is straight
Follow the river and you will get there
Come on, don't be afraid
Come on, don't wait any longer
Jerusalem, I am coming Jerusalem
City with golden streets
I'm coming home
Jerusalem, I'm coming home
By the side of the road lying down many treasures
Diamonds, rubies, gold all for nothing
Watch out, the river becomes ever narrower
Before you know it he disappears from sight
Jerusalem, where are you Jerusalem
City with golden streets
Where are you now
Jerusalem, where are you now
Where are you now
People accumulate their riches
They wander with empty hearts
Fill their time with earthly pleasure
Do not lose sight of the path and do not stray
Jerusalem I've lost my way Jerusalem
City with golden streets, where are you now
Jerusalem, where are you now
Where are you now, where are you now
The way to Jerusalem is easy
The road to Jerusalem is straight…
7. Choices
Every day
Another challenge
It is so hard
To keep the balance
Between what is right and wrong
Give me solid ground to stand on
I'm walking on the edge here
I feel like I should stop
Still I go on and on and on
It's hard to stay steadfast
The moment of truth
It's really now or never
open my heart
show me your way
Between what is right and wrong
Give me solid ground to stand on
I'm walking on the edge here
I should stop
Still I go on and on and on
It's hard to stay steadfast
Is it for or against you
Is this what you would do
Or am I myself without you
Do you want to give me your strength
to do the right thing
What do you think God
Of the choices we make
Fools and their mistakes
changes our faith
Pushing our limits
And change the rules
We say times change
But you're still the same
Between what is right and wrong
Give me solid ground to stand on
I'm walking on the edge here
I should stop
Still I go on and on and on
It's hard to stay steadfast
Is it for or against you
Is this what you would do
Or am I myself without you
Will you give me the strength
to do the right thing
I 8. Human
In my deepest pain
I shout out to you
The battle where I
have to go through
I raise my hands to You
Oh why?
because i'm human
Meat and blood
I always ask questions
I don't feel understood
because i'm human
Meat and blood
I ask you why
And try to hold
to my faith
Am I then
Forgotten Your Son
My future is already known
I am forgiven and saved
So why why
because i'm human
Meat and blood
I ask you why
though i'm saved
through Jesus' blood.
because i'm human
Meat and blood
I ask you why
And am amazed
by your grace

I'm not like I used to be
This is not how I imagined it
Not the way I planned my life
But it's okay it is well.
I surrender
My fight is over
No more worries and no more resistance,

And I come before Your throne.
Every day I kneel in prayer
Every day I have to let it go
Lord I have Need your strength and your guidance
Then it will be alright.

My fight is over
No more worries and no more resistance,
Thy will be done

to rest in your arms
