美國歌壇天后［惠妮休斯頓］(&喬治亞大眾合唱團)──福音／靈魂曲──［Joy／喜悅］
Joy, joy, Gods great joy
Joy, joy, down in my soul
Sweet (sweet), beautiful, soul saving joy
Oh, joy, joy in my soul
Listen to the music, the sound of the angels
Come and see the child who can make you whole
Lying in a manger away from harm and danger
Oh, joy, joy in my soul
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (get some joy)
Joy, joy, Gods great joy (joy, joy, joy)
Joy, joy, down in my soul (in my soul)
Sweet, beautiful, soul saving joy (joy)
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (oh, joy, get some joy)
Hes sent from up above
This special gift of love
More precious than silver or goal
He was sent this Holy day
To take all our pain away
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (oh, joy, joy, joy in my soul)
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (joy, joy)
Go and tell it on the mountain
Shout it from the valley
Tell them of a baby in swaddling clothes
Mender of a nation, Youre the celebration
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (joy, joy, joy, joy, joy)
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (joy, joy, way deep down in my soul)
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (joy, joy, joy, joy, my joy)
Oh, joy, joy in my soul (Ive got joy)
Oh, joy (all the way down, deep joy, joy, joy, joy, joy)
Oh, joy (Ive got joy, way down deep joy, unspeakable joy)
Oh, joy (joy, joy, in my soul)
