"New Season" by Israel Ojulari Music: Weeping Has an Expiration Date


Joy doesn’t cancel pain — it outlasts it. 

Every difficult season carries a hidden promise: it will end. In his song “New Season”, Israel Ojulari sings about that truth. The message of the song draws straight from Psalm 30:5 — “weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Israel Ojulari don’t dress up the pain. “It looks so dark now, there seems no way out,” the he admits, naming the exhaustion that so many people are carry quietly. Then it pivots, “Joy is coming in the morning time.” This isn’t maybe, eventually, or someday. Joy is coming! 

Israel Ojulari Music - New SeasonThink about Job for a moment (Job ch. 2–42). Job lost nearly everything — his health, his family, his sense of stability. But God didn’t leave him there. He restored what was broken and multiplied what remained (Job 42:10). So, why would He treat your story any differently? 

Psalm 30:5 doesn’t promise a life without weeping. It promises that our weeping has an expiration date. “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Morning always comes. That’s not wishful thinking — it’s how God has operated since the beginning of time. 

So, how can you apply this today? Stop treating your current struggle as your permanent address. Speak change over your circumstances, even when nothing has visibly shifted yet. Lift your hands, even if only in your own room, and declare that a new season is already moving toward you. The morning is coming! Faith isn’t pretending the storm doesn’t exist. It’s trusting the storm doesn’t get the final word. 

Listen to this song and let it remind you that God specializes in turning weeping into joy, real joy, one morning at a time. “It’s a new season and it’s coming your way.”

(Related scripture: Psalm 30:5; Job 42:10; Isaiah 43:19)

Background:

This song is inspired by the message in Psalm 30:5b. We all walk through difficult seasons, but the reassuring truth is that they will never last — every storm will eventually pass away. Our God is truly awesome; there is no situation nor circumstance beyond His power to transform. Just like He did for Job, He restores, renews, and gives us double for our trouble, if we don't give up.

"Psalm 112 (I'm Confident)" by Young Presley: No Fear in Bad News

What is your house built on?  We all face bad news at some point or other in life. It could be a diagnosis, a layoff, a broken relationship — the question isn’t whether hard news will come, but how you’ll respond when it happens. Young Presley wrestled with that question while he was writing his song “Psalm 112 (I’m Confident)”. The song is part of a Psalms series, coming from a simple vision: turn scripture into music that people will actually listen to. These songs are not intended as a substitute for reading the Bible, but an invitation to further read and explore the Bible. The chorus captures the key message of Psalm 112: “I do not fear bad news, I’m confident, trust in the Lord who cares to be my confidence.” That’s not the denial of bad news. It’s a decision to place your confidence and trust in God.  Look at what David wrote centuries ago in Psalm 112:7–8: “He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. His heart is steady; he will not be afrai...

"Clothed With Dignity" by Grace Frances: Trading Shame for a New Identity

Your worth was never up for negotiation.  Grace Frances wrote “Clothed With Dignity” from a place most of us recognize (in some form or other) but will rarely admit out loud. She carried old regrets like a second skin, calling herself names that her past mistakes didn’t deserve. “I demonize the girl I was, when she was just trying to survive,” she sings, and that line hurts. Haven’t we all judged ourselves for choices that we made while simply trying to get through the day? Even choices that seemed to be fine in the moment, but proved to be otherwise over time.  Grace’s breakthrough didn't come from fixing herself, but from surrendering… surrendering to God. “You clothe me with dignity,” she declares, describing a moment where self-condemnation lost its grip and grace took over.  Grace’s story is fairly similar to the story found in Isaiah 61:10 —  “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; h...

"All To Jesus" by Angelica Smith: Never Too Far Gone For a Fresh Start

Ever felt too far gone for a fresh start? Some seasons of life can feel like you’re standing in a pile of ash where a fire used to be. Angelica Smith knew that feeling well before she wrote her song: “All To Jesus”. She describes being “a wreck, a mess,” carrying sin and shame so heavy it left her feeling like “dry bones” and a “heart of stone.” Sound familiar? Most of us have been in that same situation, wondering if there’s a way back to real life, maybe even thinking that we’re now too broken for God. Something changes when God is included in the equation. Angelica sings, “Then you breathed your life within,” and everything changes. “Dead things” in your life start to breathe again. Blind eyes start seeing. This isn’t a small tweak to a broken life — it’s the miracle of resurrection. We find that same image in Ezekiel 37:5–6, where God speaks over a valley of dry bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live… and you shall know that I am the Lord.” God d...
