It's the case that the greatest pain
Brings greater joy in You
And it's a race so I'll run in the rain
With greater joy in view
Is this what you prescribed: a rhythm of bad news'
From the first beginnings of time
'Til the sunset is through

Oh God, in seasons of blue,
There's greater joy in you
I'll hold on 'til your mercies are new
For greater joy in you
Joy in you

My hope will never be shaken
My hope is you
My God, in heaven, you're reigning
Your word is true

When the sky clears, I know
The sea is gonna calm for sure
When I shed tears, I hope
I'll just keep holdin' on to hope
Into the tough years I go
I go 'cause it's meant to show that
You mean more than everything
