This opening line to Josh Wilson's song "Before the Morning" has always caught my attention. And listening to the words of the rest of the song, it is actually quite related to the "Beauty for Ashes" series in my class. When we talk about the Hope that we have, it is in the context of the pain we are going through. I really like the reminder that "the pain [we've] been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming", which is essentially what Romans 8:18 says: "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." This is depicted well in the picture of the "darkness before the morning".
BEFORE THE MORNING LYRICS - JOSH WILSON:
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
Chorus
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
Chorus 2x
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
