Joy Comes in the Morning (Psalm 30:5)

The night was long, the silence deep

I sang through sorrow just to sleep

But morning broke through skies of grey

And slowly took the pain away

Weeping may last for the night

But joy comes in the morning light

You turned my mourning into grace

And met me in the sacred place

I didn't think I'd smile again

But here I stand though I don't pretend

The hurt remains but not the same

Because your joy has staked its claim

Weeping may last for the night

But joy comes in the morning light

You turned my mourning into grace

And met me in the sacred place

The tears I cried watered something new

Now life breaks forth because of you

Not all is fixed but all is true

And joy broke through

Weeping may last for the night

But joy comes in the morning light

You turned my mourning into grace

And met me in the sacred place

Let every sunrise sing Your name

The One who stayed through every flame

You hold my past, you light my frame

And mourning never feels the same
