True joy comes
True joy comes out of anguish
That's where the joy is when we see
The results of our laying hold of your heart
You give us direction and then we see the results
We see a whole city come to repentance
Now is the time to rejoice, let the joy of the Lord be your strength
But that joy came out of seeing
And suddenly the walls go down, the ruin sets in
That wasn't born in agony
The walls go down, the ruin sets in [2x]
That wasn't born in agony
There was no sign of anguish
The victory that came out of the anguish
That wasn't born in a-
The victory that came out of the anguish
That wasn't born in agony
Why didn't they have an answer?
Why didn't God use them in restoration?
Why didn't they have a word?
Because there was no sign of anguish
And suddenly the walls go down, the ruin sets in
That wasn't born in agony
The walls go down, the ruin sets in [2x]
That wasn't born in agony
[2x]
For we will obey not his voice
The victory that came out of the anguish
That wasn't born in agony
The victory that came out of the anguish
That wasn't born in agony
For we will obey not his voice
