God’s in it

I used to wake up with a weight on my chest
Running on empty, no peace, no rest
Chasing down shadows, trying to win
But the world stayed loud and the light stayed dim

Then mercy met me where I stood
Didn’t clean me up — just called me good
Spoke my name through the broken noise
Turned my sorrow into joy

Now every sunrise feels different
Every breath’s a second chance

Oh, there’s joy in the morning, fire in my soul
When God’s in it, I’m finally whole
No more walking blind in the night
His love lit up my life
Yeah, the valleys don’t scare me like they did
Grace runs deeper than my sin
I’ve got peace that the world can’t counterfeit
Oh, there’s joy — when God’s in it

Storm clouds roll but I’m not afraid
I’ve seen what His faithfulness can make
Out of ashes, out of pain
He builds beauty from the rain

I don’t have to have it all figured out
Don’t need all the answers now
’Cause I’ve felt the power of nail-scarred hands
Holding tight to who I am

Every burden gets lighter
When I lay it down in His hands

Oh, there’s joy in the morning, fire in my soul
When God’s in it, I’m finally whole
No more walking blind in the night
His love lit up my life
Yeah, the valleys don’t scare me like they did
Grace runs deeper than my sin
I’ve got peace that the world can’t counterfeit
Oh, there’s joy — when God’s in it

Bridge (Build it up big and gritty)
It’s not a feeling that fades away
Not just Sunday words I say
It’s a freedom I can’t explain
Like chains falling in the rain

I was lost but now I’m found
Feet on rock, not sinking ground
When He stepped into my story
He turned my mess into His glory

There’s joy in the morning, fire in my soul
When God’s in it, I’m finally whole
Even heartbreak has a purpose now
He’s working it all out somehow
Yeah, the valleys don’t scare me like they did
Grace runs deeper than my sin
I’ve got hope that the grave couldn’t quit
Oh, there’s joy —
Real joy —
When God’s in it

Yeah, I’ve got joy…
’Cause God’s in it
