I want joy
Not happiness
And you ask why
Happiness is external
While joy is internal
You’re always searching for the pursuit of happiness
But I’m sorry to tell you that it will never be enough
Because happiness comes and goes
It never holds on
Always one step behind
But joy
Now that’s something to live for
You’re not searching for something to fulfill you
But something that becomes a part of you
Joy comes when you make peace with
Who you are
What you are
Where you are
Why you are
Even in your darkest times you can have joy
It’s spiritual
And helps us overcome obstacles
That God can bring me peace and joy
And love to a world that deserves none
Yet He still does
You can only have joy until you need no more than the truth
And the truth will set you free
Let’s bring joy to the world
And be good to all
