Joy (As Far As the Curse Is Found)
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Eternal God, there at the beginning
Stepping into time, into the world
All for love, the infinite descending
To kick inside the womb of a girl
Verse 2:
A king is born, far from any palace
Bending low to serve instead
Majesty, He’s given up his status
Robed in the weakness of the flesh
Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again
Verse 3:
Let’s go with the wise men
Laying down our treasures
Falling on our knees to give him praise
With the angel choir
Singing to the shepherds
Glory to God in the highest place
Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
It’s worth!
Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again
Bridge:
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
(Joy to the world)
As far as the curse is found
(Let earth receive her king)
As far as the curse is found
(Let all creation sing)
As far as the curse is found
(And let his blessings flow)
As far as the curse is found
(Til the whole world knows!)
Chorus
