Before

It's easy to bless you when the valley's behind me
 It's easy to trust you when my world is not unwinding
 But this is the darkest midnight that my soul has ever seen
 So I will stand my ground, lift my hands to you and sing
 Before the prayer is answered, before the battle's won
 Before this trial is over, before the healing comes
 I will choose to trust you, I will bless you, Lord
 I won't wait to praise you after, I will praise you before, mm
 In the lonely place of silence where the waiting gets so old
 I found the flame of worship, keeps my heart from growing cold
 You've always been so faithful when I can't do my part
 Even in my worn out weakness, nothing changes who you are
 Before the prayer is answered, before the battle's won
 Before this trial is over, before the healing comes
 I will choose to trust you, I will bless you, Lord
 I won't wait to praise you after, I will praise you—
 Before you ever formed me
 You knew I'd be here on my knees
 You're the one who's fighting for me
 And you know where this will lead
 Before the prayer is answered, before the battle's won
 Before this trial is over, before the healing comes
 I will choose to trust you, I will bless you, Lord
 I won't wait to praise you after, I will praise you before
 I won't wait to praise you after
 I will praise you before
