Verse 1
Unsure what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
by what I haven't choosen to perform
but then an angel came one day
told me to kneel down pray
for what to me a man child would be born
oh this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said
Lauryn baby use your head
but instead i choose to use my heart
Chorus:
now the joy... of my world... is in Zion...
(repeat twice)
Verse 2
how beautiful is nothing more
that to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
now let me pray to keep you from the perioles
that will surely come
see life for you my prince has just begun
and I thank you for choosing me
to come through on this life to be
a beautiful reflection of his grace
see I know that a gift so great is only one god could create
and I'm reminded every time i see your face
Chorus
(repeat four times)
marching 10x
beautiful beautiful Zion
my joy 8x
now the joy
beautiful beautiful Zion until fade
