Spread Joy Over This Land Lyrics

By Patti Casey

Gonna shout out for praise and glory

Gonna tell it all over again, gonna spread joy over this land 



Gonna put my shoulder to the yoke, gonna lean in,

Gonna work hard til the evenin’

Then I’m gonna go down easy, gonna spread joy over this land



Gonna lay my burden by the side of the road

Help my neighbor pick up his load

And we’re gonna walk though our feet are slow, gonna spread joy over this land



Chorus

I’m gonna rise and run to the mountain

Gonna spread joy over this land

Gonna cast the seeds from the palm of my hand

And though the light is weak and the soil is mean

Joy rises up from a power unseen



I’m going down to the river to pray 

Walk through the wilderness and find my way

At my jubilant feet the path will lay, gonna spread joy over this land



To the wailing wall at the end of the day

Leave my prayers like the good book say

Do what I can and get outta the way, gonna spread joy over this land



Won’t you come along, come and go with me

But if you won’t go let your children free

We’ll march on for eternity and just spread joy over this land
