[Intro]
Ooh, oh
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
I look at my life
And I still can't believe it
How did I make it
To where I stand now?
You don't understand
I was up against the whole world
And all I could feel was it breaking me down
But out of a hopeless situation
There came a song of redemption

[Chorus]
Life may push my heart to the limit
But I won't let go of the joy in my soul
‘Cause everything can change in a minute
And the world may try, but they're never gonna steal my joy

[Verse 2]
So get up, stand up, and rise above it
If every plan that you've made goes so wrong
You don't have to give in to the struggle
You may be down, but don't stay there for long
In every hopeless situation (Situation)
There is a song of redemption
[Chorus]
Life may push my heart to the limit
But I won't let go of the joy in my soul
‘Cause everything can change in a minute
And the world may try, but they're never gonna steal my joy

[Bridge]
The world may say
You're never gonna make it
The world may say
You're not strong enough to take it
But I don't care
‘Cause the joy of the Lord is real
And they're never gonna steal my joy, ooh
Ooh yeah, hey hey

[Chorus]
Life may push my heart to the limit
But I won't let go of the joy in my soul
‘Cause everything can change in a minute
And the world may try, but they're never gonna steal my joy
Life may push my heart to the limit
But I won't let go of the joy in my soul
‘Cause everything can change in a minute
And the world may try, but they're never gonna steal my joy
[Outro]
No, they're never
Ooh
No, they're never, never gonna steal my joy
No, they're never
No, they're never, never gonna steal my joy
