"Joy Of The Lord" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Giving God honor with a grateful heart


Marcus & Jalyn McGill - Joy Of The Lord

(by Jasper Tan) Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new single "Joy of The Lord" offers an upbeat and energetic sound to a worship song that is rooted in gratitude and the power of praise. Written during a SongLab retreat last January, it is a song that speaks about healing, breakthrough, and being moved by the Spirit as we give thanks to the Lord. It features a very driving groove that brings excitement and energy as we worship the Lord. You could definitely feel the joy of Marcus and Jalyn when they wrote and performed this song. The chorus is a simple statement of giving honor to the Lord, as his happiness is the one that gives us strength, and which will eventually bring joy to our lives.

It might be an understatement to some, but there's really nothing truer than to make our life a living testament of God's love and grace. Make it a part of our prayer for God to give us strength as we live our daily life, where his life can also be reflected in the way that we live. And that's what the song is trying to strive for, to also remind us that just as God loves us, we also must do our part to make him feel proud and happy to see us represent him in this world. And that we should never fail to give thanks to the Lord for everything that he has done for us. The song delivers this message very succinctly, straight forward, and with a heart that is filled with joy. It's the running theme of the song, how Marcus & Jalyn carry a heart that is filled with gratitude for the Lord.

(Related scripture: Nehemiah 8:10; Psalm 28:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
