Joy
to the Mall
(sung to the tune of Joy to the World)
by
Jim Hammond
Joy to the mall the buyers have come
let earth receive her things
Let every house, prepare more rooms
and fill it with the stuff
and fill it with the stuff
and fill it, fill it, with more stuff
Joy to the earth! The creditor reigns
Let men their cards employ
While Sears and Target, Wal-mart and Costco
Repeat their sounding joy,
repeat their sounding joy,
repeat, repeat, their sounding Joy
The Prince of this world,
Still tries to rule,
And make all Christians prove,
The glory of the Lord, doesn’t really matter
Just turn on the fake lights,
Go Shop with all your might,
Forget, forget, the truth of this night.
Contrast that with the 3rd and 4th verses of Joy
to the World
No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor Thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, far as
the curse is found
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He Rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His Love!
