Sing Joy - Peter Mayer

These days of winter have come to bury you

No sign of spring no promise to carry you

No flowers blooming in your window sill

And the beat of your heart is too still…

Joy joy joy in the morning

Joy joy in the afternoon

Joy joy joy for the child is born

This night the promise is given to you

Come gather together you children who wander

Looking for dreams that the whole world has squandered

You’ve lost them you’ve sold them for pockets of gold

You long to come in from the cold… Oh sing

Joy joy joy in the morning

Joy joy in the afternoon

Joy joy joy for the child is born

This night the promise is given to you

Lying in the cradle no warrior no king of the land

Only a child would bring peace in the palm of his hand

Singing joy joy joy

Through trails and darkness fear and temptation

You look for deliverance and some revelation

With no song of spring you wait for the call

Could there be nothing at all… Oh sing joy

Joy joy joy in the morning

Joy joy in the afternoon

Joy joy joy for the child is born

This night the promise is given to you
