Joy of the Lord
by Rend Collective
Theology & Meaning
The song draws from the biblical truth that joy in God is a source of strength and resilience. It encourages worship that is defiant against discouragement because it is rooted in God's character. It can be framed as joyful obedience that follows trust, not circumstances.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is perfect as a service opener or a momentum builder. Keep it bright and rhythmic, but make sure the congregation can hear the lead vocal clearly. Invite the room to sing the hook boldly, and consider a short exhortation about joy as spiritual strength.
Arrangement Tips
High energy with tight rhythm. Let the celebration come through naturally and encourage the congregation to participate fully.
