YOU TURN MY TEARS TO DANCING by Hannah Cruse

When I felt secure, I said to my God,
"I never will be shaken."
Finding beauty was so easy then,
when you called, when you called my name.

But these days I question everything,
wailing, "Have I lost your favor?"
Then you lift me for a moment, Lord,
when you call, when you call my name.

(Chorus) You turn my tears to dancing!
You stir my heart to joy.
You turn my tears to dancing!
I can’t help but sing Your praise.

In despair, I hold onto your Word;
weeping lasts just through the night.
In the morning, true rejoicing comes,
when you call, when you call my name.

(Bridge) When life feels bleak and painful, 

we must search for all that's bright. 

There's a lot of love to go around, 

when God calls our name.

IN THEE IS GLADNESS, 16th cent. text

In you is gladness amid all sadness,
Jesus, sunshine of my heart.
By you are given the gifts of heaven,
you the true Redeemer are.
Our souls are waking, our bonds are breaking;
who trusts you surely has built securely
and stands forever. Alleluia!
Our hearts are pining to see your shining,
dying or living to you are clinging
now and forever. Alleluia!

If he is ours, we fear no powers,
not of earth or sin or death.
He sees and blesses in worst distresses;
he can change them with a breath.
Wherefore the story tell of his glory
with heart and voices; all heav'n rejoices
in him forever. Alleluia!
We shout for gladness, win over sadness,
love him and praise him and still shall raise him
glad hymns forever. Alleluia!
