my mom used to listen to this song when i was younger. i didn't understand it then but now i do. we can't go through life without the joy of the lord in us to make trials easier to go through. without that joy we couldnt make it in this life. Thank u Lord for giving me lasting joy.
God I know i've done wrong but you haven't taken your joy away from me... Lord I thank you every single dy that you KEEP your hands upon this old DIRTY LIFE of mine... THANK YOU JESUS
This song gives me so much encouragement and peace,,,, because i know that i know the joy i have the world didnt give it me and the world can take it away.
Singing this at the top of my lungs! Jesus your joy, love, and favor are more precious than gold. I KNOW I could never make it without you. Even though I know I've done wrong, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't ever, ever, ever take your joy away.
of course its Tamela Mann aka Cora Simmons lol this is when she was wit Kirk Franklin before Tyler asked her and her husband David Mann aka Mr. Brown to work for him
THE DEVIL IS A LIE SO GOD PLEASE DONT TAKE YOUR JOY AWAY FOR ME I NEED U AND I KNOW I CANT MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU BECAUSE YOUR LOVE AN MERCY IS EVERLASTING SO LORD CLEAN ME UP PLEASE HELP ME RUN THIS RACE ON EARTH.....AMEN
God i need u to come into my life right now i dont know what to do with 3 kids car not working no money fa the bill with no way to get it PLEASE GOD STAND STRONG ON YOUR WORD AND COME INTO MY LIFE DINT TAKE GOD IS SO GREAT
@qawsmith precious one, The Lord has heard your cries and he is faithful to his promises. the things you are expereincing means your breakthrough is about to happen at any moment, just don't give up !!!!When it gets so bad, that is when God shows up and shows out!!!! He is faithful!...There are two "immutiable things" about God, HE CANNOT LIE AND HE WILL NOT CHANGE!.The same yesterday and forever!.....just hang in there, the storm is Passing...God bless you

Smokie May the Lord bless you and keep you always. Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might and he shall direct your path. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May the lord forever be our strength.
Everytime I listen to this song it makes me cry!! Jesus really knows how to find the best people to tell them what he wants to tell them!! Jesus I appreciate each and everything you've done for me thanks!!
This song brings tears to my eyes. It makes me think of my grandmother who's immobile right now, but just seeing the joy of God in her eyes when I visit her or hearing it in her voice over the phone is amazing. Even when she's in pain, she gives God the praise. I pray that can someday be the woman she is. I love her so much and I thank God for her and the joy He's bestowed in her. She gives me joy.
exactly what i needed to hear right now....I made a stupid mistake and i need the Lord's mercy to rain down on me....thank you Jesus for loving us unconditionally.....
Let me speak to your situation right now...the bible says to have faith in God and whatever you speak in his name if you believe you have it and dont doubt u shall have what u ask for(Mark 11:22-24) so i speak that you and your 5 children will have a NEW home and you will have a BETTER job in Jesus Name before this time next month...Just Believe
I pray that by now your situation is better. And I thank God that although you were not where you desired to be in life, you were still seeking Him even thru the ministry of music. Know that God is with you even when you're down. And HE WILL bring yoGod is great and greatly to be praised. I learned from my grandmother and my own parents to praise Him even when I'm down and out. Trust and believe in Him... It hasn't [E HAS NOT] failed me yet!!!
my mom used to listen to this song when i was younger. i didn't understand it then but now i do. we can't go through life without the joy of the lord in us to make trials easier to go through. without that joy we couldnt make it in this life. Thank u Lord for giving me lasting joy.
