What Is This Joy

1. I touched a thread
And you healed me
I took a step
On the raging sea
You broke that bread
Then You filled me
What is this feeling
Somebody tell me
I was in the grave
Till You called my name
Drawing in the sand
You erased my shame
At the waters edge
Until You said
“Take up Your bed”
And I took up my bed!
Something good
Good is happening

[Chorus]
You caught me by surprise
Amazed me
I feel it in my soul
What is this joy?!
With every breath
That You give me
Gonna shout it out
What is this joy?!
You fill me up with wonder
And I wonder now
With all this joy!
Whoa...

2. You took up the cross
And set me free
When the lions roared
You stood by me
With spit and dirt
You touched my eyes
I once was blind
Now I can see
Something good
Good is happening

[Chorus]
You caught me by surprise
Amazed me
I feel it in my soul
What is this joy?!
With every breath
That You give me
Gonna shout it out
What is this joy?!
I may weep at night
In the shadows
When the morning comes
What is this joy?!
When the battle strikes
I’m surrounded
Gonna sing it out
What is this joy?!
You fill me up with wonder
And I wonder now
With all this joy!
Whoa...
Something good
Good is happening

Good is happening
Good is happening
Good is happening
Good is happening
Good is happening
Good is happening
AUDIENCE (repeats throughout)
God is good
Good is happening
God is good
Good is happening
God is good
Good is happening
God is good
Good is happening

You run to me
When I’m far from home
You’re the morning light
When the mourning comes
You’re in every breath
You’re in every step
You’re the finish line
The Author with the pen
You are my joy
You are my song
You’re the morning light
When the mourning comes
You’re in every breath
You’re in every step
You’re the finish line
Beginning and the End
Savior and my Friend
You’re the Great I Am
You are Good
Good is happening.

[Chorus]
You caught me by surprise
Amazed me
I feel it in my soul
What is this joy?!
With every breath
That You give me
Gonna shout it out
What is this joy?!
I may weep at night
In the shadows
When the morning comes
What is this joy?!
When the battle strikes
I’m surrounded
Gonna sing it out
What is this joy?!
You fill me up with wonder
And I wonder now
You fill me up with wonder
And I wonder now
What is this joy!
Whoa...
What is this joy!
Whoa...
What is this joy!
Whoa...
What is this joy!
Whoa...
What is this joy!
