[Verse 1]
Life on death row, bound up in chains
My enemies prepared my grave
But late in the night, You shook the walls
Broke down the doors, gave me a song
[Chorus]
Your joy is my song, Your joy is my strength
It's breaking out, it's breaking loose, it can't be contained
Your joy is my song, Your joy is my strength
It overflows, it overtakes, no, I can't contain
Your joy, joy, joy, I can't contain
Your joy, joy, joy
[Verse 2]
Shackled no more, Your freedom came
Your melody, my prison break
I'll shout it out, I found my voice
My battle cry, the sound of joy
[Chorus]
Your joy is my song, Your joy is my strength
It's breaking out, it's breaking loose, it can't be contained
Your joy is my song, Your joy is my strength
It overflows, it overtakes, no, I can't contain
Your joy, joy, joy, I can't contain
Your joy, joy, joy, I can't contain
[Bridge]
We shake the walls with our sound of praise
We're free to dance, we're no longer slaves
We shake the walls with our sound of praise
We're free to dance, we're no longer slaves, oh
We shake the walls with our sound of praise
We're free to dance, we're no longer slaves
We shake the walls with our sound of praise
We're free to dance, we're no longer slaves
[Chorus]
Your joy is my song, Your joy is my strength
It's breaking out, it's breaking loose, it can't be contained
Your joy is my song, Your joy is my strength
It overflows, it overtakes, no, I can't contain
Your joy, joy, joy, I can't contain
Your joy, joy, joy, I can't contain Your joy
