This week, you’ll start hearing “All Joy” by Natalie Layne
Story Behind the Song
“These last few years, writing these songs have been years of redefining what joy actually means in my own life. And I remember starting to look into what biblical joy actually is. And I thought I knew what joy was. But I kept being struck by this idea that joy is a fruit of the Spirit, that it’s right at the beginning of that list. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and so on. And somehow I thought it was a fruit of myself in some way, that it was a fruit of my own striving. But no. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. And so if I want more joy, I have to ask for more of the Spirit. And it’s a work of the Spirit. And so the joy of the Lord can be our strength in all seasons, not because of us, but because of the Spirit of God.” – Natalie

Lyrics to “All Joy”
Lyrics
Hmmm
Walked quite a few miles with You now
And You’ve never walked away
Been through a few trials and somehow
I bent but did not break
You never failed me
And You never will
It’s true, might sound crazy
But I’ll say it still
I count it all joy when I run into trouble
I count it all good when the bad days come
‘Cause I know that You’re always working
And I know that You’re still not done
So I’m gonna lift Your praise through the trial
Ain’t no storm gonna stop my voice
‘Cause I’ve lived some life
And I’ve learned that I can always
Count it all grace
Count it all joy
(Hmmm)
I gave You my heart in pieces
And it healed inside Your hands
The more I learn I can trust You, Jesus
Oh, the more I understand
You never failed me
And You never will
You prove it on the daily
So I’ll say it still
I count it all joy when I run into trouble
I count it all good when the bad days come
‘Cause I know that You’re always working
And I know that You’re still not done
So I’m gonna lift Your praise through the trial
Ain’t no storm gonna stop my voice
‘Cause I’ve lived some life
And I’ve learned that I can always
Count it all grace
Count it all joy
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
I’m counting all of my blessings
I’m naming them one by one
And that number keeps getting higher
And I’ve only just begun
I’m counting all of my blessings
I’m naming them one by one
And that number keeps getting higher
And I’ve only just begun
I count it all joy when I run into trouble
I count it all good when the bad days come
‘Cause I know that You’re always working
And I know that You’re still not done
So I’m gonna lift Your praise through the trial
Ain’t no storm gonna stop my voice
‘Cause I’ve lived some life
And I’ve learned that I can always
Count it all grace
Count it all joy
Do do do do do do do (joy)
Do do do do do do do (count it all joy)
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Count it all joy
