Customer Reviews

Joy keeps getting better and better
First, I will start off with a complaint. Only ten songs? There is no excuse for that anymore, none. Everything else? Perfect!!! I love every single song on this album. While I also thoroughly love both of Joy's other CD's, it is easy to see that she had grown a lot in-between the second album and this. The words are deeper, in some ways, less sure of themselves--in a good way. It didn't feel like bubble gum music. They were not all simple Sunday school answers and everything's perfect. The song she wrote about her new husband (at least I am assuming she wrote it for him) is quite possibly the sweetest love song I have ever heard, not overly dramatic, just simple real love. For some reason, listening to this album made me feel proud of Joy, for the artist she is becoming and the person you hear behind the voice.

This is very great christain music!
Joy Willaims is surprisingly a really great singer. I have only known about her for half a year, and this is the only album by her that I own. My older brother bought this CD for my birthday back in March, and I didn't know anything about her, but after I listened to it, I really loved it! Her music is very encouraging, and every time I pop in this CD, it makes me feel so blessed.

1. Stay - 9/10 A nice, beautiful beginning to the album, it has a good message in it too.

2. We - 10/10 Great one! This song is very uplifting, it talks about how when a person wishes he or she were like someone else, the person he envies has the same type of problem mostly, and it can really make people feel better(if you don't get what I mean, just buy this CD and listen to the song!:)

3. Say goodbye - 8/10 This one's pretty good, but it could've had a little more tune to it. But it has great lyrics.

4. Hide - 10/10 Cool! This too has a very great message, and I think so many people who DO hide from everything and shut themselves up can relate to this, and we do need to make much more appearance in our lives as christains.

5. Beautiful Redemption - 10/10 This is a great song about why we belong to God and why we're here on this earth. It talks about how often we sin, but no matter what, we're forgiven when we ask for forgiveness, and this song is also very musical, which is good.

6. Unafraid - 10/10 This is definitely another song we can relate to! It's about how we, as christains, should never be afraid to step out in the crowd and tell everyone what we believe, even though people will scoff at us, and it's something I myself have to do more often.

7. Silence - 10/10 This is probably my favorite! It always comforts me when I am upset, and it talks about why God doesn't alwasy answer our prayers immediately, and that we just need to wait and it might happen. Other than the lyrics, the tune is so beatiful in this. I love it.

8. I'm in love with you - 8/10 This one is pretty good, but not my favorite, a little too slow.

9. God only knows - 10/10 This is another song that talks about things we should think about. It's got a really great message,and talks about how God is the only One who knows what we are all going through, because He made us.

10. Child of Eden - 10/10 The lyrics in this are so true, we are all children of Eden because we have all sinned, we have mocked God and decieved Him many times in our lives, since we were born, and this song also tells us that we are forgiven for them if we were chosen by Jesus Christ Himslef.

Anyway, very good CD! Please buy it, even if you are not a christain because if you do, this could really touch you and change your heart and ways forever! I am saying this because I mean it, trust me, if you have the love of Christ, then you are safe and will spend eternity with Him in Heaven, so please think about what I said here and buy this album, see what you think of it!

Great Lyrics, Some Catchy Tunes
'Genesis' features Joy's great voice and lyrics. This album has a few really good songs. I particularly like 'Hide', 'Beautiful Redemption', 'Silence', and 'God Only Knows'.

Her songs feature lyrics that reflect issues that most of us experience. 'Silence' deals with praying and wondering if God is listening. He is, but there are times when most of us wonder due to our own shortcomings. Another one that has absolutely superb lyrics is 'Hide'. It is very catchy and gets played fairly often on Christian radio.

Although there are a few songs that I think are just ok, the ones that are good make this album worth the cost. I recommend it.
