Song Meaning
Tauren Wells opens by naming the hard part directly — "it ain't even faith 'til your plan falls apart, but you still choose to follow" — before landing on the title's promise: "there will be joy in the morning." The line lifts Psalm 30:5 almost exactly: "weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning."
"If it's not good, then He's not done" reframes Romans 8:28's claim that "all things work together for good" as something still unfolding rather than already resolved — not a promise that every circumstance already looks good, but that the story isn't finished yet. "Grace will be there when you come to the end of your rope, and you let go" treats surrender itself as the turning point, the moment the song's whole argument has been building toward rather than a last resort.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Everything happens for a reason
But you don't know what you don't know
And you'll never have peace if you don't let go of tomorrow
'Cause it ain't even faith 'til your plan falls apart
But you still choose to follow
If it doesn't make sense right now
It will when it's over
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
Giving in to your feelings
Is like drowning in the shallows
Oh you got to keep believing
Even in the middle of the unknown
'Cause grace will be there when you come to the end of your rope
And you let go
It may feel like you're going down now
But the story isn't over
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
If it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
If it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet
(Hold on 'til the morning)
There will be joy in the morning
Hey, yeah
If it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet, no (Hold on 'til the morning)
If it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet, no, no, no (Hold on 'til the morning)
If it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet (Hold on 'til the morning)
Hey, if it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet
There will be joy in the morning
(Hold on, hold on 'til the morning)
There will be joy in the morning
(Hold on, hold on 'til the morning)
If it's not good, then He's not done
No, He's not done with it yet
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
