He’s turned my mourning
Into dancing again He’s lifted my sorrows
And I can’t stay silent
I must sing for His joy has come (woah)
Where there once was only hurt
He gave His healing hand
Where there once was only pain
He brought comfort like a friend
I feel the sweetness of His love
Piercing my darkness
I see the bright and morning sun
As it ushers in His joyful gladness
You’ve turned my mourning
Into dancing again You’ve lifted my sorrows
And I can’t stay silent
I must sing for Your joy has come (whoa)
Where there once was only hurt
You gave Your healing hand
Where there once was only pain
You brought comfort like a friend
I feel the sweetness of Your love
Piercing my darkness
I see the bright and morning sun
As it ushers in Your joyful gladness
Your anger lasts
For a moment in time
But Your favour is here
And will be on me for all my lifetime
