Song Lyrics:

Wish I could change this

Wish I could make it all okay

How long have I've prayed this

Can you make it go away

I'm trying to trust you

When you say that you will work this for my good

I wish you would

Help me see You in the darkness

Believe in what You promise

When You tell me that joy will come again

Let me feel this and be honest

Cause we both know I don't want this

But You tell me that joy will come again

Joy will come again

Your love is a lighthouse

And I've been lost at sea

It's beckoning me now

Your promise to redeem

But hope is so haunting

Cause I'm scared to risk my heart and let it in

And get hurt again

Help me see You in the darkness

Believe in what You promise

When You tell me that joy will come again

Let me feel this and be honest

Cause we both know I don't want this

But You tell me that joy will come again

Joy will come again

Even in the loudest silence

Even in the violent storm

Even though it's paralyzing

I'll keep reaching out for more

Those who sow in tears of mourning

They will reap in songs of joy

Dawn will break without a warning

Revealing all that You've restored

Help me see You in the darkness

Believe in what You promise

When You tell me that joy will come again

Let me feel this and be honest

Cause we both know I don't want this

But You tell me that joy will come again

Joy will come again
