Only One Night Tho Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Tye Tribbett's song "Only One Night Tho" delivers a powerful message of hope and resilience rooted in faith. The central theme, reiterated throughout the track, is the temporary nature of suffering, sorrow, and stress. Drawing heavily on the biblical promise that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning, the song encourages listeners to acknowledge their pain, sadness, or stress, but to place a limit on its duration, specifically setting that limit at "only one night." This isn't a denial of the difficulty faced, but rather an assertion of faith that hardship is not a permanent state.
The lyrical structure reinforces this message through repetition, driving home the point that even intense emotions like crying, sadness, or stress are confined to a limited time frame. Phrases like "If you cry make sure that you cry / Only one night tho" give permission to feel the pain while simultaneously setting an expectation for its end. The transition in the lyrics shifts focus from the temporary night of weeping to the inevitable arrival of morning, symbolized by repeated declarations like "Joy comes in the morning" and descriptions of seeing, looking like, and feeling like "a brand new day."
Scripturally, the song directly references the sentiment found in Psalm 30:5, which states, "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." Furthermore, a section of the lyrics explicitly quotes Isaiah 40:31, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint," connecting the endurance through hardship to waiting on and trusting in the Lord for renewed strength and perseverance. The song also emphasizes trust and belief in God's promises as the foundation for overcoming the temporary night.
The accompanying video for "Only One Night Tho" was released on March 3, 2023, serving as a visual presentation for this encouraging anthem. The track moves from acknowledging struggle to an infectious declaration of morning and new beginnings, culminating in a celebration of belief and trust. The repetition of "Good Morning" and calls to "Wake up, get up" solidify the transition from the darkness of the night to the hope and promise of a new day, underscoring the song's core message that no matter how difficult the night, it is temporary, and joy, strength, and a brand new day are coming.
