Joy Elizabeth Williams (born November 14, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter. The winner of four Grammy awards, Williams has released four solo albums and four EPs since the release of her self-titled debut in 2001. She performed with John Paul White as The Civil Wars from 2009 until 2014.
In addition to singing in church, Williams began writing faith-based pop songs while living in Santa Cruz. At 17, she was signed by Reunion Records, a subsidiary of Sony/BMG based in Brentwood, Tennessee. Williams moved to Nashville in 2001, in part to be closer to the label’s headquarters.
Williams achieved significant success between 2001 and 2005. She was nominated for 11 Dove Awards, and the three records she released on Reunion cumulatively sold more than 250,000 albums. In 2005 she left the label, noting that her perspective had changed considerably since she had started recording for Reunion at 17. “My worldview shifted like tectonic plates from 17 to mid-twenties, and over time, I just started to feel less and less comfortable with the type of music I was making. I wanted to write things that moved me and not feel like I had any parameters telling me what to do or not to do," she said in a 2014 interview.
Joy Williams is the self-titled debut album by contemorary Christian music singerJoy Williams, released on August 7, 2001. In an interview after the album's release, Williams said: "Working on my first album, I wanted the music to be indicative of my relationship with Christ and how I was growing." The album featured the hit singles "Serious" and "I Believe In You".
"As you grow older, you'll find that you enjoy talking to strangers far more than to your friends."
"There must be something beyond love. I want to get there."
"Everything is gone. And it's not so much the material things. It's just ... that's home."
"It's really been rough. We just moved in a house with me and my kid, and everything is gone."
"The woods were wild at nightfall. She heard dim crashing and splashes and the bark of a dog, and through the gaps in the trees was a mottled sky of fading pink and grey discs, microbes moving toward the west. She had almost gotten away but not in time and now leaving wouldn't save her. She lay down on the deck with the woods all around her."
We laughed out loud 'til we cried And the tears were sweet Midnight melted to morning A moment faded to memory All these days just slip away through our fingers, so Don't let go Hold onto every moment Always know Hold on to every moment that you can We move on with no regrets to our destiny Held by the hands of the Father We share His love and He leads us through All these days 'Cause they slip away through our fingers, so Don't let go Hold onto every moment Always know Hold on to every moment that you can Running through yesterday into tomorrow Don't let it just drift away Forget about tying the hands of time Give every minute to the One who's given today So don't you ever go Don't let go Hold onto every moment And always know
