Lyrics (Never Gonna) Steal My Joy - Mandisa

(Never Gonna) Steal My Joy

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
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
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
