Before the Dawn
Since times of old, we’ve heard it said,
“It’s darkest before the dawn.”
The storms and trials that crowd our weary hearts
We bring before His throne.
His light reveals our hidden hearts,
His love uncovers pain.
When we lay it at the foot of His cross,
We never leave the same.
That simple, holy exchange
Brings peace so hard to find.
As we lay our burdens at His feet,
He gives us strength of mind.
He takes the brokenness we bring
And frees us from our fear.
His perfect love calms every storm,
His presence draws us near.
The battle always was His own;
We were never meant to strive.
So we place our trust within His hands,
For in His strength we thrive.
By the time our prayers are ended,
His freedom has drawn near.
Instead of all the hurt and pain,
The way ahead is clear.
So let it go and give it up;
You no longer need to fight.
As you surrender all to Him,
He brings the morning light.
