[Verse 1]
I carried quiet bruises
Smiles that hid the ache
Nights I begged for answers
Till my breathing felt like break
You sat there in the silence
Closer than my shame
You whispered through the shadows
You kept calling out my name
[Chorus]
There is joy in the morning
After rivers of tears
You are healing my story
You are drying my fears
What was broken
You’re restoring
Every promise reappearing
There is joy
Joy in the morning here
[Verse 2]
I thought the dark would stay here
Thought this storm was mine to keep
But mercy moved the curtains
Let a small light start to leak
You turned my bitter questions
Into songs I didn’t know
Now I’m dancing with the memories
Of the chains that let me go
[Chorus]
There is joy in the morning
After rivers of tears
You are healing my story
You are drying my fears
What was broken
You’re restoring
Every promise reappearing
There is joy
Joy in the morning here
[Bridge]
You were there when I was weeping
You are here as I rejoice
From the valley to the sunrise
You have been my steady voice
You were there when I was weeping
You are here as I rejoice
Every hour
Every heartbeat
You are Lord
You are my choice
[Chorus]
There is joy in the morning
After rivers of tears
You are healing my story
You are drying my fears
What was broken
You’re restoring
Every promise reappearing
There is joy
Joy in the morning here
There is joy
Joy in the morning here
