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

Joy to the World, the Lord has come
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, plains, even banjos
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

He rules this world, all mighty dollar gonna rule this world
With truth and grace
For he rules it with and eventually he make every nation prove
The glory of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love

Now friends this song was written by Frederick Handel
A German composer who moved to England
Because the king of England commissioned that he write the story of Jesus
From brith to death, resurrection and return
He completed it in less than 90 days
It's one of the great masterpieces of music of all time
I'm not sure this is the exact arrangement that he had in mind
But this is a song from the messiah
And I'm about to sing you my favorite verse
Which you might know since I'm so much of a maverick all the time
That this verse is not sung very often in church, it's really not popular
And the reason for that is this verse lays out the idea that there is a right and a wrong
And there is no grey area in between
Sometimes when I look at the world map these days
They aught'a just say the grey area
I think on the strength of this verse alone, we can safely conclude
That Frederick handle was really an assembly of god preacher
Cause he says:

No more let sin and sorrow reign
For throne infest the ground
He comes to bring his righteousness
For as the curse is found
For as the curse is found
For as, for as the curse is found

So joy, that message is all about joy
Joy to the world
