[Verse 1]
Please have mercy on this wicked-wretched man exclamation!
Present myself a sacrifice, I pray You love the fragrance
Look, really I'm just trying to pray for patience
Patiently I wait so You reward me in my waiting
I'm, sorta downcast but not done yet
You promised me that if I'd trust that I would soon find rest
You interject - "Young man you finna try your best
But stick with it, through the cross I done fixed your mess"
If you believe it, you'll see the salvation of the Lord in due season
That blessed is the one who will endure, you'll find meaning
That even in my suffering You're sovereign over demons
That even in my suffering You're sovereign over reason
Dependable in all Your ways
You are, still sovereign over wind and waves
You are, consuming fire in my darkest days
A pillar cloud covering, I pray
I mean

[Refrain]
Joy comes in the morning, yeah
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning, yeah
Joy comes in the morning, yeahhh
Joy comes in the morning, yeahh
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning, yeahh
Joy comes in the morning
[Verse 2]
Looky, words can't define my pain, mmhh-mmhh
Looky, God went and took my place, yeah-yeah
Looky, God wash away my stains, oh yeah
Looky, God, I present my case
There is none like You, there is none beside Thee
Ain't nobody compare to You, it's really so unlikely
I don't need dead idols, I need You
On my knees, eventually I will find You
I need, I need peace, I don't need temporary OD's
Oh God, I mean, please, I plead, oh mercy me
Strong tower I run
Like really who could contest
The great name of Your Son? There isn't one
And even though the victory won
We fight until the day that we done
Look I just need the strength to endure, oh God
Until I see the face of Your son

[Refrain]
Joy comes in the morning, yeah
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning, yeah
Joy comes in the morning, yeahhh
Joy comes in the morning, yeahh
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning, yeahh
Joy comes in the morning
