Meaning & Inspiration
“Joy Is Coming” by Travis Greene and Todd Galberth is a worship song of hope through hard times. The first verse says “We will not be shaken, we will not be moved,” because the Lord is beside the singers, and adds “we will fear no evil,” which is close to Psalm 23:4. It also speaks of dwelling in God’s joy forever.
The chorus is built on Psalm 30:5, which says that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. The song restates it as “though the night may seem weary, joy is coming in the morning,” and adds praise to King Jesus. The bridge declares that God’s light can drown out darkness, bring joy to life, and that the singers will not submit to sorrow.
The repetition of the bridge makes the song a declaration that a congregation can sing over a difficult situation until it feels settled. Its message is confidence in God’s presence, and the expectation that sorrow will give way to joy.
