Joy

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy,

Down in my heart. Where?

Down in my heart. Where?

Down in my heart.

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy,

Down in my heart. Where?

Down in my heart to stay.

Verses 2&3 continue:  

I've got the love of Jesus. . . 

I've got the peace that passes understanding. . .

This is the best song for feeling the joy that the gospel should bring to us! You can't sing this song and not feel happy.

LDS equivalents: (In our much more subdued music)

There is Sunshine in My Soul Today

On This Day of Joy and Gladness

Christ the Lord is Risen Today

The Lord is My Light

Joy = a feeling of great happiness

Joy  IS NOT  fun

Joy is a deep feeling that all is well, life is good.

In my experience joy accompanies all things that have eternal importance. A trip to Europe may be fun and educational. I could have a very good time. But when I share that with someone I love, then it is joy. Building eternal relationships brings joy!

Man is that he might have joy!

Find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. 

For to miss the joy is to miss all. 

Robert Louis Stevenson

Joy is contagious

Joy - the kind of happiness that doesn't depend on what happens.

Joy is not in things. It is in us. 

Richard Wagner

Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.

Let us relish life is we live at, find joy in the journey, 

and share our love with friends and family. 

One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. 

Thomas S Monson

Let us live in joy, not hating those who hate us.

Among those who hate us, we live free of hate.

Let us live in joy.

Free from disease among those who are diseased

Among those who are diseased, let us live free of disease

Let us live in joy.

Free from greed among the greedy

Among those who are greedy, we live free of greed.

Let us live in joy.

Let us live in joy, though we have nothing.

Let us live feeding on joy, like the bright gods. 

Buddha

Luke 2:10 I bring you good tidings of great joy.
