The Dark Before the Morning

Dearest you,
So today I woke up at 5:45am to go to work. I'm pretty sure it should be illegal to rise before the sun does, but mi madre tells me it's not. :) Good day at work, playing secretary and stuffing 1,000 Easter eggs with one of my best friends, AND getting paid for it--what could be better?
The rest of the day hasn't flowed so smoothly. I'm learning to hold my opinions (all of them). The hard part is still talking. How do you talk to a person without telling them what you think? It makes for rather boring, polite conversation.
So good day, sketchy afternoon, and this song. It's beautiful. Praise God for music. And words!
I think this is an incredibly personal song, for every individual. You've probably heard it before. I don't know, there's just something about this song that gives me chills. The good kind, of course. Enjoy!

The Dark Before the Morning, by 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

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 gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning

My friend you know how this all ends
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
But life is not a 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

It’s just the hurt before the healing
Oh the pain that you’ve been feeling
It’s just the dark before the morning


Con amore, With Love,
Sophie
