"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.

Release date: August 17, 2026

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...
