"Giving in to your feelings
Is like drowning in the shallows
Oh you gotta keep believing
Even in the middle of the unknown"
For our faith to be proven genuine, it must be tested. Our faith is not very useful if we never experience anything that we need faith for. Throughout our lives, we will see things that can either make or break our faith in God. In those moments, if we come out the other side choosing to still believe, we will know that our love for God is real, and we will see His beautiful story come to its happy ending. In “Joy In The Morning,” Tauren Wells shows us that a turbulently tested faith that holds on to the end will experience a joy like no other.
WATCH NOW: Tauren Wells “Joy In The Morning”
“Joy In The Morning” begins with Wells’ voice gently singing along to a somber, yet hopeful piano melody. As the song’s energy begins to climb, Wells encourages us to keep the faith in the moments when the story is not good, because He is not done working. Wells’ blend of hip-hop, rock, and classic worship sounds perfectly offer the song’s message of faith through difficult times.
When our situations are not optimistic, and our plans crumble to pieces around us, it can be so easy to blame God and falsely believe that He doesn't love us anymore. In truth, it is precisely because God loves us that these tests of our faith happen. Through them, He teaches us to trust His direction, steering us onto the paths that make our lives everything they were meant to be. And when further trouble comes, we will be able to handle it, because we’ve already learned that God is working towards a good ending for the incredible story of our lives.
“If it’s not good, then He’s not done
No He’s not done with it yet”
“Joy In The Morning” was released in June 2022 as the focus and titular track of his album, “Joy In The Morning”. Wells shares his mindset for the album. “A lot of these songs came from a place of freedom and honesty… there was just something special about how this particular moment was captured in my life and what I hope to bring people.”
