Taylor Pride’s 'Joy Comes in the Morning': A Musical Reminder of Morning’s Promise


Have you ever felt so weighted down that it seems like the night would never lead to dawn? Taylor Pride's 'Joy Comes in the Morning' captures that feeling, and points the listener to the promise we all have in Christ of a glorious transformation to renewal. The inspiration for this song came during a Lula Street Records songwriting camp, and basically wants to confirm to you that joy does come in the morning, just as promised in Psalm 30:5. 

Taylor Pride - Joy Comes In The Morning (Live)'Joy Comes in the Morning' is a declaration of faith, that when you are feeling at your lowest, weary and worn, there is hope. 'When I'm hurting when I'm weary / Lord I know that you are with me', what a powerful sense of God's unwavering support, and this feeling grows with each repetition. 

You can feel Taylor's conviction in the live recording - it's almost tangible. The raw emotion in his voice, together with a gospel-infused harmony, really finds its way into your heart. This song is such an encouragement, especially on those days when you feel like God's light isn't able to cut through the darkness. 

So, have a listen to 'Joy Comes in the Morning,' and may in remind you that no matter what you will be facing today, a new dawn is breaking: Joy always arrives fresh with the morning.

(Related scripture: Psalm 30:5; Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 46:1)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
