The Dark Before the Morning

When I post a song on this blog, it is important for you to know that I don't do so randomly or haphazardly. When I post a song for you, it is almost always something that I have been led to specifically to share with YOU on my blog and the lyrics are typically meaningful and life applicable. I'm no Delilah, :) however, I want to reiterate that I am very intentional in seeking the Lord on how to encourage YOU daily and I specifically believe the songs I select for you have purpose if you really digest the lyrics. The lyrics to Josh Wilson's song, "Before the Morning" are posted here separately from the video which you can watch in the following post, for you to utilize to help you in your journeys. I would recommend printing them out (or writing them out) and post them in a place where you will view them often as a reminder on the hard days to keep fighting the good fight, arming yourselves with the boxing gloves of victory! 

 
"Before the Morning"

Do you wonder why you have to,
feel the things that hurt you,
if there's a God who loves you,
where is He now?

Maybe, there are things you can't see
and all those things are happening
to bring a better ending
some day, some how, you'll see, you'll see

Chorus:
Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you've been feeling,
it's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
and you know where you're going,
you just don't know how you get there
so just say a prayer.
and hold on, cause there's good who love God,
life is not a snapshot, it might take a little time,
but you'll see the bigger picture

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you've been feeling,
it's just the dark before the morning
yeah, yeah,
before the morning,
yeah, yeah

Once you feel the way of glory,
all your pain will fade to memory
once you feel the way of glory,
all your pain will fade to memory
memory, memory, yeah

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

Would dare you, would you dare, to believe,
that you still have a reason to sing,
'cause the pain you've been feeling,
can't compare to the joy that's coming

com'n, you got to wait for the light
press on, just fight the good fight
because the pain you've been feeling,
it's just the hurt before the healing
the pain you've been feeling,
just the dark before the morning
before the morning, yeah, yeah
before the morning
