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. :)

  2. Good post! I especially like the verses from II Corinthians. My husband shared his life story yesterday at church and he used those verses to talk about some really hard times in His life. God is faithful and I'm glad He gives us an eternal perspective.
