music monday// before the morning

i know sometimes when we hear things like "God will make a way" "everything will work out just fine, wait and see" they sound like cliches. it sure happens to me sometimes when i dangerously begin to lose focus on God's word. but it's truueee.

when we put all of our hope in God, trust and obey, miracles happen! today's song is birthed from an amazing miracle God did in a family's life. here's a quick video on the story. tears swirled in my eyes when i first watched it. God is really faithful!

before the morning~ josh wilson

do you wonder why you have to feel the things that hurt you?

if there's a God who love you, where is He now?

maybe, there are things you can't see and all those things are happening 

to bring a better ending someday, somehow, you'll see, you'll see.

would you dare, would you dare to believe

that you still have a reason to sing

cause the pain that you've been feeling,

it can't compare to the joy that's coming

so hold on, you got to wait for the light

press on, and just fight the good fight

cause 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'll get there

so say a prayer, and hold on

cause there's good for those who love God

life is not snapshot, it might take a little time

but you'll see the bigger picture.

once you feel the weight of glory, all your pain will fade to memory

once you feel the weight of glory, all your pain will fade to memory

memory, memory, yeah

c'mon, you got to wait for the light,

press on, and just fight the good fight

cause the pain you've been feeling,

it's just the hurt before the healing,

the pain that you've been feeling

is just the dark before the morning, yeah, yeah

before the morning.

"...weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning." psalm 30:5

"for i consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." romans 8:18

"for our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not see. for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 corinthians 4:17-18

"i wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word i do hope. my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning-yes, more than those who watch for the morning." psalm 130:5-6

everything that God does is for a reason. the pain is for a greater purpose, for a beautiful glory that's coming. don't let anything break your focus on God. hold on, friend. :)
