Before the Calm
Finding Light in Life's Tempest: Before the Calm by Truman Brothers
Lyrics
You look up at the sky and wonder if He really hears
You look up at the sky and question if God truly listens
You want to ask Him why His plan could ever bring such pain
You desire to inquire why God's plan involves such pain
When it feels your hope is gone
When you feel that hope is lost
You hear a whisper in the rain
You hear a comforting whisper in the rain
It’s just the storm before the calm
Current difficulties are just a precursor to peace
It’s just the darkness before the dawn
Challenges now precede a brighter future
When the wind is raging, keep holding on
Despite turbulent times, maintain resilience
Cuz it’s just the storm, it’s just the storm
Because it's only a temporary storm, just a storm
Before the calm
Before the calm arrives
I’ve tried and tried to find the message in the sand
Efforts to find meaning in life's challenges seem futile
But these tears I cry just wash away all I understand
Tears erase understanding, leaving confusion
Oh, I’m falling on my knees
Facing difficulties, pleading for guidance
Lord will you tell me please that
Asking God to explain the situation
It’s just the storm before the calm
Similar to earlier, emphasizing the temporary nature of challenges
It’s just the darkness before the dawn
Reiterating that darkness precedes the dawn
When the water’s rising, keep holding strong
Stay strong when faced with adversity
Cuz it’s just the storm, it’s just the storm
Emphasizing that challenges are transitory, just a storm
Before the calm
Before the calm, emphasizing the eventual peace
The Holy Spirit whispers, “This will all be for your good”
The Holy Spirit reassures that challenges will lead to good
But you can’t help but wonder how it ever could
Despite reassurance, there's uncertainty about the positive outcome
How it ever could
Expressing doubt about how things could turn out well
But remember the garden where blood did fall
Recalling the sacrifice in the garden where blood was shed
The God of Heaven suffered it all
Highlighting that God endured immense suffering
Your pain’s like the empty tomb before her name He called
Comparing personal pain to the empty tomb before resurrection
It’s a miracle, it’s a miracle that
Miraculously, pain will lead to a positive transformation
It’s just the storm before the calm
Repeating the theme of challenges preceding tranquility
It’s just the darkness before the dawn
Reaffirming that darkness comes before the dawn
When your heart is breaking, leap into His arms
In times of heartbreak, seek solace in God's embrace
Cuz It’s just the storm, it’s just the storm
Stating that challenges are fleeting, just a storm
Before the calm
Before the calm, underscoring the eventual arrival of peace
