ChatGPT: 

You're absolutely right — the verse you're thinking of is in Psalms, and it’s one of the most comforting and powerful expressions of God’s balance between justice and mercy.

📖 Primary Verse: God’s Anger Lasts Only a Moment

Psalm 30:5 (KJV)

“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

💬 Commentary:

This verse captures the depth of divine mercy. Though God's anger is real — and righteous — it is brief and purposeful, always with the intent to restore. His favor, however, is lasting and life-giving. Pain and correction may come, but joy is promised on the other side.

Andrea McArdle - Tomorrow

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar

That tomorrow there'll be sun

Just thinkin' about

Tomorrow

Clears away the cobwebs

And the sorrow 'til there's none

When I'm stuck with a day

That's gray and lonely

I just stick out my chin

And grin and say, oh

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya tomorrow

You're always, a day away

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on

'Til tomorrow come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya tomorrow

You're always, a day away

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya tomorrow

You're always, a day away
