Before the Calm

You look up at the sky and wonder if He really hears
You want to ask Him why His plan could ever bring such pain
When it feels your hope is gone
You hear a whisper in the rain

It's just the storm before the calm
It's just the darkness before the dawn
When the wind is raging, keep holding on
'Cause it's just the storm, it's just the storm
Before the calm

I've tried and tried to find the message in the sand
But these tears I cry just wash away all I understand
Oh, I'm falling on my knees
Lord will you tell me please that

It's just the storm before the calm
It's just the darkness before the dawn
When the water's rising, keep holding strong
'Cause it's just the storm, it's just the storm
Before the calm

The Holy Spirit whispers, "This will all be for your good."
But you can't help but wonder how it ever could, how it ever could

But remember the garden where blood did fall
The God of Heaven suffered it all
Your pain's like the empty tomb before her name He called
It's a miracle, it's a miracle that
It's just the storm before the calm
It's just the darkness before the dawn
When you're heart is breaking, leap into His arms
It's just the storm, it's just the storm
Before the calm
