Zema - Joy In The Morning


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning
Psalm 30:5 - For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
Yesterday's gone
And the best is yet to come
 
There's no more dark nights when
Joy comes in the morning
Revelation 22:5 - And there shall be no night there;
and they need no candle, neither light of the sun;
for the Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.
We are children of tribulation
This world is not our friend
We have a hope and a promise
 
No more pain and sorrow
Every tear will be wiped away
Revelation 21:4 - And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.
Restore what the swarming
Locusts have eaten
Joel 2:25 - And I will restore to you the years
that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm,
and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm,
my great army which I sent among you.
Rescue me speedily Psalm 31:2 - Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock,
for an house of defence to save me.
You turn my mourning to dancing
And clothe me with gladness
Psalm 30:11 - Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:
thou hast put off my sackcloth,
and girded me with gladness;
Yes, you wipe every tear away  
Beauty for ashes
Oil of joy for mourning
Garments of praise for
The spirit of heaviness
You bring me joy
Isaiah 61:3 - To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,
to give unto them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.
