From the album Joy comes in the morning
About This Song
The title track opens the EP exactly where Psalm 30 opens: in the night, with tears. But the beat refuses to stay there. Verse by verse the darkness loses its grip — chains fall, shadows give way, the head is lifted — until the drop lands like sunrise on the dance floor: joy comes in the morning light.
Devotional
"Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5).
The Hebrew picture in that verse is of weeping as an overnight guest — it lodges, but it must leave at dawn. Sorrow is real, but on God's clock it has a checkout time.
This song is for singing before dawn — when the night has tried to keep you and you need a reason for a new song.
Reflect: What "overnight guest" has been lodging with you? Name it — and name the morning God has promised on the other side of it.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Weeping with tears in my eyes But You were still faithful Still holding my life Night tried to keep me The dark fell strong But You gave me a reason To sing a new song [Chorus] Joy comes, joy comes Joy comes in the morning light Joy comes, joy comes Joy comes in the morning light Joy comes in the morning Joy comes in the morning light Joy comes in the morning Joy comes in the morning light [Verse 2] Joy in the morning Dancing again You lift my head up And call me Your friend Chains start falling Shadows give way Joy comes alive As I wake up today [Pre-Chorus] It's only true My heart's awake and connected to You The night is over The mourning turns to morning light [Chorus] Joy comes in the morning Light breaks, always Joy comes in the morning And the night says goodbye [Build] Joy is rising Joy is rising Joy is rising Get in now! [Final Chorus] Joy comes, joy comes Joy comes in the morning In the distance, You are the sunrise If tomorrow gives me breath Joy comes in the morning Light breaks, always Joy comes in the morning We will follow the light [Outro] Joy comes in the morning We've made it safe through the night But joy comes in the morning Joy comes, joy comes in the morning
