One of the biggest hits coming out of “Joy In The Morning” is Wells’ energetic, dance-inducing vibe in “Fake It”. Featuring the talents of Aaron Cole, this song is an electric anthem of heart-change through deep honesty with God. The Lord can change our lives by lifting our hearts up high in times of celebration, or by allowing us to be down in times of sorrow. This song reminds us that it is best to be real with God. He knows what we are going through, and He will bring us through it. God does not want some fake face. Just be real with Him and let Him be your good father.

Wells slows down the tempo in “Empty,” declaring that all the material possessions and earthly pleasures that this world offers will only leave us feeling hollow. Wells’ voice shines through in this moving ballad about the dangers of storing up temporary treasures that are sure to fade away. This song beautifully presents this message, showing Wells’ heart and desire that everyone should find true fulfillment in Jesus Christ rather than the world that will only leave them feeling empty.

The title track of Wells’ album, “Joy In The Morning” presents the overall message of the album, proclaiming a greater hope in the midst of the pain and heartache. This inspiring anthem charges us to hold on a little longer, waiting out the night until the dawn breaks. Wells’ lyrics remind us that God is a storyteller. If the story is not good, then the ending has not been written yet. When hurt comes our way, when things do not go right, and when we do not understand, we have the opportunity to hold onto the hope that God can bring us everlasting joy when the sun rises.

Wells shares the heart behind the album. “‘Joy in the Morning’ is just a reminder that our problems have an expiration date, that even in your darkest season, the darkest time of your life, the sun will rise again. Now is not forever. There is still hope and for me being a believer, that informs my ultimate hope and that is the horizon of heaven.”
