God Is Joy

[Intro]
[low male chant]
Across the wide
Wide steppe
Ancient wind still speaks Your name
Strings cry out
Then softly rest
We rise and shout Your fame
[Celtic chanting
Female ensemble]
Gael and tribe
One song
One heart
One holy fire
[Verse 1]
[strong male vocal]
I was dust on a dead road
Dry bones under iron sky
Then Your breath broke the black cold
Lit a flame I can’t deny
Foot on stone
I keep marching
Battle scars on my skin
Every wound starts to soften
When I call
You pull me in
[Pre-Chorus]
[drums build
Low choir]
From the hills to the highland shore
Every knee
Every heart
One roar
Chains fall down when we lift this cry
Lift this cry
Lift this cry
[Chorus]
[full female chorus
Powerful]
God is love
God is joy
God is healing in the storm and in the war
God is love
God is joy
Every tribe
Every tongue
Shout it more and more
God is love
God is joy
God is healing
God is healing
[Verse 2]
[call-and-response: male lead / mixed crowd]
Lead: I hear drums in the midnight
Crowd: We are not afraid
Lead: You turn fear into fierce light
Crowd: Darkness starts to fade
Lead: Every wall
You’re a hammer
Crowd: Every lock
Your key
Lead: From the yurt to the green glen
Crowd: You’re the song that sets us free
[Pre-Chorus]
[percussion flurry
Voices rising]
From the fire to the ocean foam
Every heart finds a Father’s home
Hands up high as the banners fly
Banners fly
Banners fly
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[chant-style
Stomps and claps]
You are holy
You are near
You are laughter after tears
You are mercy
You restore
You’re the heartbeat at our core
[Building gang chant
Males then females]
God is love (hey)
God is joy (hey)
God is healing
Shout it loud
Shout it loud
[Chorus]
