No there ain't nothing
gonna steal my joy

Old Church Choir - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
As we delve into the lyrics of Zach Williams' "Old Church Choir," we are reminded of the joyous and unshakeable faith that is echoed in the Bible. The song speaks of a revival, a spiritual awakening that is spreading like a wildfire in the heart. This sentiment is beautifully mirrored in Psalm 51:10, where David prays, "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Just as David sought a spiritual renewal, the song speaks of a similar revival that lasts all week long, not just on Sunday mornings.
The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of faith, "I've got an Old Church Choir singing in my soul, I've got a sweet salvation and it's beautiful." This echoes the sentiments found in Ephesians 2:8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." The song and the scripture both emphasize the beauty and joy of salvation, a gift that cannot be stolen or diminished.
The second verse of the song speaks of the valleys and mountains in life, the challenges and obstacles we face. Yet, it reassures us that God is always with us, a sentiment that is echoed in Deuteronomy 31:8, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." The song and the scripture both remind us that no matter the trials we face, our joy in the Lord remains unshakeable.
The bridge of the song encourages us to find joy in the Lord, to clap our hands and stomp our feet, to find that gospel beat. This is reminiscent of Psalm 47:1, "Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy." Both the song and the scripture invite us to express our joy and faith in the Lord through praise and worship.
As we reflect on the lyrics of "Old Church Choir" and the corresponding Bible verses, we are reminded of the joy and strength that comes from our faith in God. We are encouraged to hold onto our faith, to let it be the choir in our souls, the rhythm of our lives, and the source of our joy.
So, let us ponder this: How can we, like the song suggests, allow our faith to be a constant source of joy, a choir singing in our souls, regardless of the valleys and mountains we face in life? How can we ensure that nothing steals our joy in the Lord?
