The Dark Before The Dawn

I've been waiting for the sun

To come blazing up out of the night like a bullet from a gun

Till every shadow is scattered, every dragon's on the run

Oh, I believe, I believe that the light is gonna come

And this is the dark, this is the dark before the dawn

I've been waiting for some peace

To come raining down out of the heavens on these war-torn fields

All creation is aching for the sons of God to be revealed

Oh, I believe, I believe that the victory is sealed

The serpent struck but it was crushed beneath his heel

Oh, I know the wind can bring the lightning

Oh, I know the lightning brings the rain

Oh, I know the storm can be so frightening

But that same wind is gonna blow that storm away

Blow that storm away

Lord, I'm waiting for a change

I'm waiting for the change

So I'm waiting for the king

To come galloping out of the clouds while the angel armies sing

He's gonna gather his people in the shadow of his wings

And I'm gonna raise my voice with the song of the redeemed

'Cause all this darkness is a small and passing thing

This is the storm, this is the storm

The storm before the calm

This is the pain, the pain before the balm

This is the cold, the cold

It's the cold before the warm

These are the tears, the tears before the song

This is the dark

Sometimes all I see is this darkness

Well, can't you feel the darkness

This is the dark before the dawn

I'm just waiting for a change

Change

Lord, I'm waiting for the change

I had a dream that I was waking

At the burning edge of dawn

And I could see the fields of glory

I could hear the sower's song

I had a dream that I was waking

At the burning edge of dawn

And all that rain had washed me clean

All the sorrow was gone

I had a dream that I was waking

At the burning edge of dawn

And I could finally believe

The king had loved me all along

I had a dream that I was waking

At the burning edge of dawn

I saw the sower in the silver mist

And he was calling me home
