Joy Will Come In the Morning 

A friend of ours, who is saved, has a lost son in his 30’s who has been in so much trouble, and caused even more trouble by hanging himself off their back porch.  She saw him hanging and thought he was dead.  She is a small woman and took a pruning nipper and cut the rope at his neck.  He hit like a sack of potatoes.  He lived.

When I spoke with her son John, I told him he was selfish to put his mother through such an ordeal, and that he was wrong to think that God couldn’t or wouldn’t help.  It was then that this song came to me.  Other family member or relatives, or other people’s circumstances, because of unwillingness to follow the Lord Jesus, do not take away a believer’s joy.  Situations will pass.  John is alive and still troubled.  I can still see the rope burn in my mind.

I wrote this song for our friend, and for all believers who face the unbeliever’s circumstances of trouble.  It is a very beautiful song of hope.
