EPH 519 - JOY lyrics

JOY These things I've spoken to you That your joy may be full These things have I spoken unto you That your joy may be full There is a vast difference between happiness and joy Happiness is a temporary pleasant state of mind Joy is a constant state of the spirit of man that is in fellowship with GOD Happiness is state of mind, joy is a state of the spirit These things I've spoken to you That your joy may be full These things have I spoken unto you That your joy may be full Now basically down deep inside, man is searching for joy And discovering for the most part happiness Because joy cannot be experienced by direct pursuit That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that you might have fellowship with us And truly our fellowship is with the Father and His Son JESUS CHRIST The by-product of that fellowship is joy within your heart, that constant joy These things I've spoken to you That your joy may be full These things have I spoken unto you That My joy might remain in you, that your joy may be full ... that constant joy JESUS wants your joy to be full, And thus as you read the word It brings you into a right relationship with GOD Which results in that fullness of joy in your heart ... that constant joy Ask that you might receive that your joy may be full That our joy may be full In Your presence is fullness of joy And though now you do not see Him yet believing You rejoice with joy that is indescribable, and full of glory ... beginning to get the picture ? GOD wants you as His child to be filled with joy He wants your joy to be full And that fullness of joy is related to the word of JESUS to us It's related to our prayer life It's related to our fellowship with GOD It's related to our living in the presence of GOD And whenever you become aware or conscience of GODS presence what is the response within your heart, there's just that leaping that fullness of joy, oh yes ... GODS presence So LORD as we study we pray that Your SPIRIT will be working in our heart In JESUS name
