“Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.” – Isaiah 52:9 NIV

Your earthly situation doesn’t have to be a good one, to be joyful in the Lord. He has redeemed us and comforted us in Christ. That alone is worth us bursting out into songs of joy. We have access to God fully. We can rebuild our cities and often times our situations perhaps even greater than before, but we cannot rebuild our relationship with the father on our own. So burst into a song of joy no matter the circumstance, for you have been comforted and redeemed.
