    Behind The Song: Phil Wickham Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Joy To The World (Joyful, Joyful)”

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Phil Wickham. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Joy To The World (Joyful, Joyful).”

    “Joy To The World may be my favorite song for Christmas in terms of lyrics. It’s just so beautifully written. Let every heart prepare him room. Joy to the world the savior reigns. You know it’s just like so much joy and declaration of what God has done. He’s entered into our darkness bringing joy, light & peace. With these amazing verses I thought what if there was a simple little refrain in between them? I remember I was playing this song live with just an acoustic guitar and it just kind of came out ‘We will sing, sing, sing. Joy to the world. We will sing, sing, sing.’”

    – Phil Wickham

    “Joy To The World (Joyful, Joyful)” Lyrics

    Joy to the world the Lord is come
    Let earth receive her King
    Let every heart prepare Him room
    And Heaven and nature sing
    And Heaven and nature sing
    And Heaven and Heaven and nature sing

    We will sing sing sing
    Joy to the world
    We will sing sing sing

    Joy to the world the Savior reigns
    Let men their songs employ
    While fields and floods rocks hills and plains
    Repeat the sounding joy
    Repeat the sounding joy
    Repeat repeat the sounding joy

    We will sing sing sing
    Joy to the world
    We will sing sing sing

    He rules the world with truth and grace
    And makes the nations prove
    The glories of His righteousness
    And wonders of His love
    And wonders of His love
    And wonders of His love
    And wonders wonders of His love

    (We will sing sing sing)
    We’re singing we’re singing
    Joy to the world
    We will sing sing sing

    Joyful joyful we adore Thee
    God of glory Lord of love
    Oh Lord of love
    Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
    Opening to the sun above

    Joy to the world
    (Joyful joyful we adore Thee)
    We adore You God
    (God of glory Lord of love)
    There’s no one like You
    No one like You God
    (Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee)
    Opening to the sun above
