(From Psalm 30)

Verse 1:                       

Awake oh my soul wipe the sleep from your eyes

Look and see what you missed before

Do not give up hope though You've wept through the night

Your light will break fourth like the dawn                       

Chorus:

Joy comes in the morning

Joy comes in the morning             

Joy comes in the morning

Verse 2:

Why are you downcast put your hope in the Lord 

He makes all things beautiful       

Remember how he's rescued you before

Be strong now  lift your head

Bridge:

When the kisses of this world turn bitter in my mouth

And the laughter has all died down

I still can see these scars on me once so hard to bear

But they are healing now and I remember
