The Dark Before The Dawn

D G D A G


[Verse 1]
                           D
I've been waiting for the sun
          G                    A                   D
To come blazing up out of the night like a bullet from a gun
             G                          A             Bm
Till every shadow is scattered, every dragon's on the run
         G                                        A
Oh, I believe, I believe that the light is gonna come
                 G                  A              D
And this is the dark, this is the dark before the dawn

[Verse 2]
                             D
I've been waiting for some peace
           G                       A              D
To come raining down out of the heavens on these war-torn fields
       G                         A            Bm
All creation is aching for the sons of God to be revealed
        G                                      A
Oh, I believe, I believe that the victory is sealed
              G                  A                 D
The serpent struck but it was crushed beneath His heel


[Chorus]
A                                   G
Oh, I know the wind can bring the lightning
A                                    G
Oh, I know the lightning brings the rain
A                                Bm
Oh, I know the storm can be so frightening
               G                             A
But that same wind is gonna blow that storm away
                 D
Blow that storm away

D G D A G
                          Bm    G
Lord, I'm waiting for a change
                    D    A  G
I'm waiting for a change


[Verse 3]
                         D
So I'm waiting for the King
           G                   A                      D
To come galloping out of the clouds while the angel armies sing
             G                         A           Bm
He's gonna gather His people in the shadow of His wings
                G                      A            Bm
And I'm gonna raise my voice with the song of the redeemed
                   G                              A   D  A
'Cause all this darkness is a small and passing thing


[Bridge]
             Bm
This is the storm, this is the storm
      A
The storm before the calm
             G                         A
This is the pain, the pain before the balm
             Bm
This is the cold, the cold
           A
It's the cold before the warm
                G                          A
These are the tears, the tears before the song
             G   A
This is the dark
                               G     A
Sometimes all I see is this darkness
                              G      A
Oh now can't you feel this darkness
                              D  G  D
This is the dark before the dawn
                  A      G
I'm just waiting for a change
                Bm   G
Please let it change
                                  D    A  G
We're all just waiting for some change


[Outro]
          D
I had a dream that I was waking
        Bm
At the burning edge of dawn
             G
And I could see the fields of glory
         G
I could hear the sower's song
          D
I had a dream that I was waking
        Bm
At the burning edge of dawn
              G
And all that rain had washed me clean
          G
All the sorrow was gone
          D
I had a dream that I was waking
         Bm
At the burning edge of dawn
              G
And I could finally believe
              G
The king had loved me all along
         D
I had a dream that I was waking
        Bm
At the burning edge of dawn
            G                  A
I saw the sower in the silver mist
                       D
And He was calling me home
