about

We’ve never been accused of writing too many worship songs, but this album seemed to need some. We actually have two of them. This one was patterned after the prayers used by the early Celtic church. The tune that follows it is the well-known “Out on the Ocean.”

lyrics

My heart within me quakes with fear
Let your joy come in the morning
Let your Spirit hover near
Turn my mourning into dancing

When hatred turns my heart to stone
Let your joy come in the morning
When I’m lost and all alone
Turn my mourning into dancing

When confusion dims my sight
Let your joy come in the morning
Drive the darkness from the night
Turn my mourning into dancing

Weeping tarries for a night
Let your joy come in the morning
Dark surrenders to the Light
Turn my mourning into dancing

When anger to the wind is cast
Let your joy come in the morning
Weave your peace around me fast
Turn my mourning into dancing

Lord, my rock and fortress be
Let your joy come in the morning
Jesus, come deliver me
Turn my mourning into dancing

Encircle me, O Trinity
Let your joy come in the morning
Lord, your joy my strength will be
Turn my mourning into dancing
