Reasons for joy

«Reasons for Joy»: Words, music and cover created by me in neural network. This song is a reflection on holding onto gladness and hope even on the coldest, dreariest days. Standing on a rainy street corner, watching people carry their daily worries and debts, we are reminded of the warmth and purpose that true faith brings. The drizzle and heavy clouds cannot extinguish the light in our hearts because we know that a bright, endless morning is just ahead. Let this song inspire you to ask: What fills your heart with joy when the world around you feels cold and heavy? In the Creator's promise, there is a steady peace that no storm can ever take away. Psalm 118:24 says: “This is the day that Jehovah has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” [Verse 1] Damp paper folded inside my coat pocket The morning bus passes the wet red brick It is hard to keep gladness alive on the corner When heavy clouds gather and winter grows thick You carry your debts and the weight of your house Walking alone with your head bending low [Verse 2] Even we feel the chill when the drizzle sets in Yet we hold a reason to lift up our song We offer good news to the folk rushing by us To clear out the gloom that has lingered too long For God gives us breath and a purpose to praise We shake off the sorrow and step in the light [Chorus] We will not yield to the cold heavy weather We sing out the news that brings back the sun (brings back the sun) There is a joy that no burden can swallow The new day has already begun [Instrumental Hook] [Verse 3] The trouble we carry is turning to morning Soon every sadness will run out of room A paradise waits where the garden is blooming Where nobody grieves in the winter or gloom Our lives will be filled with an endless delight [Chorus] We will not yield to the cold heavy weather We sing out the news that brings back the sun (brings back the sun) There is a joy that no burden can swallow The new day has already begun [Instrumental Hook] [Outro] Good news on the corner Joy in the damp rain (in the rain) Paradise near us No sorrow again [Instrumental Outro]
