"Praise You In The Morning" by Taylor Pride: Waking up to the sound of Worship


(by Jasper Tan) Taylor Pride's latest single, "Praise You In The Morning" is an uplifting song that is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness in different seasons and circumstances. The song is an acknowledgement that even if we are facing hardships and difficulties, we should still continue to praise God, for he is our provider and protector. And that he has promised to redeem us in his perfect time. The song follows an established style of Taylor's "heart-on-your-sleeve" type of worship song, drawing inspiration for this song's music from the likes of Cody Carnes and Phil Wickham's songs, the likes of which are simple with an easy-to-sing chorus layered by joyful sounds.

Taylor Pride - Praise You In The MorningThe lyrics serve as a prayer for those in the "desert seasons," suggesting that praise is a choice made even in times of uncertainty with our faith. The song uses the transition from night to day as a metaphor for moving from weeping to hope. It is a modern worship track bearing a "joyful melody" and uplifting production. It is singable and best to be added on Sunday worship playlists. Taylor's delivery is sincere and emotive. While the song is written to be sung in Sunday Churches, Taylor retains the "personal devotion" connection to the song.

Fans of artists like Cody Carnes or Phil Wickham will find the sound very familiar - heavy on acoustic foundations with soaring, synth-supported choruses. "Praise You In The Morning" doesn't try to reinvent the wheel of Christian contemporary music (CCM), but it succeeds in its specific mission: providing a rhythmic, easy-to-memorize anthem for daily gratitude.

It's also a morning wake-up song. It's designed to be the first thing you listen to with a cup of coffee in hand to set a spiritual tempo for the day.

(Related scripture: Psalm 63:1; Lamentations 3:22–23; Habakkuk 3:17–18; Psalm 113:3)

Background:

“Praise You In The Morning” is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness, even in desert seasons and difficult circumstances.

Sonically aligned with Cody Carnes and Phil Wickham, the simple, singable chorus and joyful soundscape make this song a perfect fit for worship playlists.
