Meaning & Inspiration
“Unending Joy” by Moses Bliss is a joyful praise song that mixes English with Nigerian Pidgin. A chant of “Joy!” and “Joy of the Holy Ghost” opens the song, and the refrain names the gift as “unending joy, unspeakable,” sitting in the singer’s heart and life: “Dey my heart o, dey my life o.” The first verse credits Jehovah God as the source of this overflowing joy.
The second verse describes “the life of a man in Christ” and “a child of God” who overcomes the world while “standing on the solid rock,” and it names “righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost,” echoing Romans 14:17. The middle of the song becomes call and response, with the line “This type of joy, Jesus dey give” and the answer that nobody can give it to the singer in the same way.
A praise chant follows, asking “I no go praise Jesus keh?” The message is that joy comes from Christ and is meant to be celebrated aloud.
