"My Joy" is a song recorded by Depeche Mode during the production of the 1993 album Songs Of Faith And Devotion. It was released as a B-side on the "Walking In My Shoes" single on 26 April 1993.

Notes

Alan Wilder told author Jonathan Miller for his DM biography Stripped:

"It was going to be on 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' at one point, but we didn't think it was strong enough in the end. It was mixed by Steve Lyon and myself; I reconfigured the track for the 12" version, with Steve engineering."

Lyrics


My Joy

My joy

The air that I breathe

My joy

In God I believe

My joy


You move me


My joy

The blood in my veins

My joy

Flows in your name

My joy


You move me


I'm not a mountain, no

You move me


My joy

Heavenly bliss

My joy

The pleasures I've missed

My joy


You move me


I'm not a mountain, no

You move me
