Joy Came Quietly

I thought about His love

How He chose the cross for me

I thought about my hands

Empty as they'll ever be

And somewhere in between

Those two truths I finally saw

The One with everything

Gave it to the one with nothing

Joy

So this is what it means

To be found

Joy

The empty hands

Now hold a crown

Infinite love

Met total need

And what was born

Was not a debt but a daughter

I didn't earn this name

I couldn't climb this high

But He came down

And called me His

Joy

Not a feeling that will fade

But a fact

Joy

I am His

And He's not taking that back

He knew my nothing

And gave His everything

Now I'm seated at the table

Where only daughters sing

Joy

I finally understand

What the cross was for

Joy

It was always

To make me His

His daughter

His daughter

I am His
