Selah - Joy lyrics

Every breath of air Was a silent prayer I was longing for Your face And I wondered why All the years went by Without a single trace Anticipating, Lord, we've been waiting Just watching the days come and go But now we know Joy and the angels sang There was joy Let the whole world know this Joy, our King has finally come Joy, here is the promised One Set the captives free Tell the broken reed Hope has been restored And the one who cries For a wandering child Her tears are not ignored Father in heaven You gave us reason to see past the pain of today We celebrate Chorus Unending hope for all time When the King of the ages arrived Chorus
