In The Morning
Thi'sl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus - Daphne Rice]
We've been through the night but it's all right
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
His anger's for a moment, his favor lasts forever
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
[Verse 1 - Thi'sl]
I can see the tears falling from your eyes
Nobody knows the pain that you feel inside
Those nights that you wish you could just die
Those days that you hate that you still alive (I feel your pain)
It's like you drownin' in a sea of pain
You look up at the sky, all you see is rain
Trying everything but it never change
Working so hard but it stay the same (I know you hurt)
I know somebody who can change it all
He wanna talk to you, waiting on you to call
And he been walkin' with you baby through it all
And he's there to catch you every time you fall (his name is Jesus)
I know that this can be a hard life
And you just tryna fight and make it through the night
But trust me baby joy comin' with the light
He sent me here to tell you it's gon' be all right, it's aight

[Chorus - Daphne Rice]
We've been through the night but it's all right
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
His anger's for a moment, his favor lasts forever
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning

[Verse 2 - Thi'sl]
She's drowning in a sea of pain
So she headin' to her dresser for a razor blade
She think that cuttin' herself will take the pain away
Inside she wish that it could end today (I feel your pain)
She's in her room with tears in her eyes
It's dark, and they don't hear her silent cry
It's her heart, it's torn to pieces deep inside
But I'm praying that baby girl gon' be okay (come walk with me)
Lemme take you to someone who can change it all
All that pain that you feel mine felt it all
'Cause he been walkin' with you baby through it all
And he wanna talk to you, you just gotta call (his name is Jesus)
I know that this can be a hard life
And you fightin' just to make it through the night
But trust me baby joy comin' with the light
He sent me here to tell you it's gon be aight, it's aight

[Chorus - Daphne Rice]
We've been through the night but it's all right
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
His anger's for a moment, his favor lasts forever
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning

[Hook - Daphne Rice]
In the morning it'll be all right
In the morning it'll be all right
Ohhh
Lord lead me to the light
Just lead me to the light
Ohhh
(Repeat)

[Chorus - Daphne Rice]
We've been through the night but it's all right
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
His anger's for a moment, his favor lasts forever
Joy comes in the morning




Joy comes in the morning
(Repeat 2x)

Overall Meaning

Thi'sl's song In the Morning is a beautiful representation of how anyone can find hope and joy in the midst of life's struggles. The song's chorus, performed by Daphne Rice, communicates a message of hope by stating that joy comes in the morning, and that God's favor lasts forever, even though his anger might only last a moment. The lyrics of the song speak to the pain people sometimes experience in life but in a very empathic and personal way. Thi'sl speaks to the pain of someone who may be considering suicide, urging them to reach out to someone who can help, and telling them that it is going to be alright because “Joy is coming with the light.”


The verse two is particularly more striking because it talks about someone who is struggling with self-harm, which is unfortunately prevalent in our society. Thi'sl doesn't hesitate to show his compassion by addressing this individuals pain and turmoil, and how Jesus can take it all away. The verse one talks about someone who is drowning in a sea of pain and how even though they are trying to change things, they cannot seem to accomplish anything. However, Thi'sl encourages them to call on Jesus, who will never let them fall, and who can bring light into their darkness.
