MISSIONARY JOY Words by Nick Holovaty Music by Nick Holovaty and Chris Vieck D When you’re standing on the front porch G D And Tasha says, “Who sent you?! D D/C# Bm A I can’t believe you came to me today!” G D And it turns out just this morning F# Bm CPS gave their last warning, D A D And oh yes! She wants to circle up and pray D G D And then his joy, his joy G A D His missionary joy that fills your soul G A There’s nothing sweeter in this world Bm A/C# D Than helping people meet the Lord G D A D And find His joy, His missionary joy When Neveah says at kids camp “I did the thing you taught us— To pray like God is sitting next to you! And I took my daddy through it ‘Cause I don’t think that he knew it, And he told me he was gonna do it too!” And when you get a word for Tony, “God knows about your struggle, He loves you, and he wants to give you grace.” And Tony tells you he’s been thinking That it’s time he just quit drinking And as you pray the tears come rolling down his face. And when you get home in the evening Brother, sister right beside you And you both feel ‘bout as spent as your last dime. But you heard from God each hour And you’ve seen him move in power And there’s faces filling up your heart and mind. Copyright © People of Praise Inc. 2015
