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
