Joy Will Come

Joy will come in the morning
Riding on the wings of the dawn
I know
Joy will come after mourning
As surely as you are God

Joy will come
Believe
Joy will come
Joy will come

Joy will come
Believe
Joy will come
Joy will come

Joy will come like the harvest
Reaping for the tears that we sow
I know
Joy will run to farthest place
As surely as you are God

Joy will come
Believe
Joy will come
Joy will come

Joy will come
Believe
Joy will come
Joy will come

What is this hope I feel?
It's helping
What is this peace beyond understanding?
You fix the broken heart
There's healing in Your wings

What is this hope I feel?
It's helping
What is this peace beyond understanding?
You fix the broken heart
There's healing in Your wings

What is this hope I feel?
It's helping
What is this peace beyond understanding?
You fix the broken heart
There's healing in Your wings

Joy will come
Believe
Joy will come
Joy will come

Joy will come
Believe
Joy will come
Joy will come

What is this whisper small?
I'm hearing
So far above it all
It's speaking
You're still the sovereign Lord
There's healing in your wings

Psalm 30:10-12
"Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;

"Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior."

John 16:20b
"You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy."

Is it bad that I don't watch the news because it's too depressing?
The world is a scary and very messed up place... I read some articles and thought to myself "Why?"
I'm heartbroken...

How very small my world is here.
How very safe I am...

Is it wrong of me to remain ignorant to the horrible things happening in the world around just because they make me uncomfortable and sad?

I just don't know...

Highest Place

Lord You searched me
and You know me
You hear all of my thoughts
No point in hiding

Lord you found me
So completely in need of You
I cannot run from You

If I go to the heavens or down below
You are right there waiting
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
You are there
I will find You waiting

You are in the highest place
You are in the falling rain
You are in the mountain peaks
and valleys speak wonders of Your name

You are in the perfect sky
You're in every breath I breathe
You're in every moment life seems to pass me by
You're my prince of peace

In the glory of Your glory
I become like You are,
It's overwhelming

In the presence of Your presence
I finally see,
All Your love for me

If I go to the heavens or down below
You are right there waiting
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
You are there
I will find You waiting

You are in the highest place
You are in the falling rain
You are in the mountain peaks
and valleys speak wonders of Your name

You are in the perfect sky
You're in every breath I breathe
You're in every moment life seems to pass me by
You're my prince of peace

You're everything
You're in everything
You're in every part,
It all ends and starts with You my King

You're everything
You're in everything
You're in every part,
It all ends and starts with You my King

If I go to the heavens or down below
You are right there waiting
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
You are there
I will find You waiting

You are in the highest place
You are in the falling rain
You are in the mountain peaks
and valleys speak wonders of Your name

You are in the perfect sky
You're in every breath I breathe
You're in every moment life seems to pass me by
You're my prince of peace

You are in the highest place
You are in the falling rain
You are in the mountain peaks
and valleys speak wonders of Your name

You are in the perfect sky
You're in every breath I breathe
You're in every moment life seems to pass me by
You're my prince of peace

You're everything
You're in everything
You're in every part,
It all ends and starts with You my King

You're everything
You're in everything
You're in every part,
It all ends and starts with You my King
