Emily Joy - Thank God Im A Virgin - Official Music Video Emily Joy 2015-05-03 | From the upcoming album, "All Prodigal Daughters and Sons"Get this single on iTunes here: goo.gl/DBLzDsGet this single on Amazon here: http://goo.gl/iRY3BF"Thank God I'm a Virgin" is an exploration of the logical consequences of a Christian purity culture that places undue emphasis on the status of one's virginity, especially female virginity, over against one's character and heart. It seeks to correct and indict those who would set themselves up as judge of who is in and who is out of the kingdom and community of God on the basis of their sexuality.http://www.emilyjoypoetry.comAlter-boy Productions 2015Lyrics:Well thank God I’m a virgin!Or he probably wouldn’t want me.I thought as I listened silentlyWhile he told meThat he just couldn’t be with someoneWho had been with someone else,Which is like 90% of adults by the age of 25,So your already limited pool is shrinking very quickly,But don’t let me discourage you.Carry on.Tell me how you saved yourself.How you saved up enough points with GodTo buy an unspoiled brideAnd you will not settle for less.Tell me about her white dress,How it will “mean something.”Tell me what it means.Tell me what it’s like to have nothing you regret,To have made it through life unscathedBy either bliss or pain.What does that feel like?Is it very lonely?Or does it just feel safe,Like keeping your cocoon heart all wrapped up and tucked awayHoping to God someday it becomes a butterflyBefore it dies from the frost. I hope whoever she is,She meets all your expectations.I hope enough of her heart is intactFor you to feel like the wait was worth it.I hope she never knows you wouldn’t have wanted herIf she wasn’t a virgin.Cause everybody knows a girl is only as valuableAs the men who haven’t touched her.Only as desirable as the experiences she hasn’t had.But baby, when you get to her,She better know what to do in bed.She better satisfy your wildest pornographic fantasies,Know all the right ways to moveBody parts she has never had the chance to use.Cause God would never fail you, right?You waited on his timing, now he owes you.Anything less is not the bill of goods they sold you.So I hope it works out for you.I really do.But if it doesn’t, just remember what I told you.That a heart cannot be divided into piecesAnd given away till there is nothing left.That the greatest gift you can giveHas nothing to do with your flesh.That love is really just grace.That a lifetime of avoidanceDoes not prepare one for a lifetime of joy and pain.That “virgin” is not a sexual preference,Nor is it your birthright.Baby, your insecurity is showing.She chose you.What more do you want?

Emily Joy - Jonah Emily Joy 2013-02-06 | Poetry by Emily Joy, from new her EP "Dichotomized".www.emilyjoypoetry.comA dichotomy is a sharp division or contrast between opposing, often mutually exclusive things. It's confusing, counter-intuitive, a bit of a paradox—and artistically, emotionally, even theologically, this describes Dichotomized, Emily Joy's debut spoken word project, perfectly. As the title implies, it's a schismatic work. Dichotomized chronicles Emily's struggle to come to terms with the truth about God, her past and her future, giving a window into the abject despair and guttural anger that often accompanies the process of wading through the lies to find the truth. It's is a story of pain, change, call, response, and worship. It's a devotional... It's a lament.... It's an invective... It's a prayer.... It's Dichotomized.creditsreleased 01 February 2013 All pieces written and performed by Emily Joy Allison Produced, Recorded, Mixed, & Mastered by: Emery M.
