Steal My Joy Lyrics - Mandisa

I look at my life 

And I still can't believe it 

How did I make it 

To where I stand now? 

You don't understand 

I was up against the whole world 

And all I could feel was it breaking me down 

But out of a hopeless situation 

There came a song of redemption 

[Chorus] 

Life may push my heart to the limit 

But I won't let go 

Of the joy in my soul 

?Cause everything can change in a minute 

And the world may try 

But they're never gonna steal my joy 

So get up, stand up 

And rise above it 

If every plan 

That you've made goes so wrong 

You don't have to give in to the struggle 

You may be down 

But don't stay there for long 

In every hopeless situation 

There is a song of redemption 

[Chorus] 

The world may say 

You're never gonna make it 

The world may say 

You're not strong enough to take it 

But I don't care 

?Cause the joy of the Lord is real 

And they're never gonna steal my joy 

[Chorus x2]
