Joy like Thunder

Joy like thunder, breaking silence
After years of inner violence
Christmas morning, I'm still breathing
Heart's still pounding, still believing
Woke up sober, woke up free
This is what was meant for me

Oh what glory, oh what grace
Finally found my saving place
Joy like thunder in my chest
Made it through the hardest test
Let it echo, let it ring
I'm alive this Christmas morning
Joy like thunder, joy like thunder
Breaking chains I was under

Joy like lightning, strikes my body
Shaking hands that once were bloody
Twenty stories, didn't jump
Now my heart's a steady thump
Every scar now tells the truth
Found my way back to my youth

Oh what glory, oh what grace
Finally found my saving place
Joy like thunder in my chest
Made it through the hardest test
Let it echo, let it ring
I'm alive this Christmas morning
Joy like thunder, joy like thunder
Breaking chains I was under

Kannst du es hören? (Can you hear it?)
Dieses Leben! (This life!)
Kannst du es fühlen? (Can you feel it?)
Keine Ketten! (No chains!)
HALLELUJAH, I'M STILL HERE
CHRISTMAS BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE FEAR

Oh what glory, oh what grace
I survived my darkest place
Joy like thunder in my chest
God, I passed your fucking test
Let it echo through the night
I'm the proof of Christmas light
Joy like thunder, joy like thunder
Rising up from going under

Joy like thunder, JOY LIKE THUNDER

Joy like thunder
Christmas saved me
