https://youtube/watch?v=jc8boqbXeFM Darkest Before the Light VERSE John was thirteen asleep on the porch swing when his mom and daddy died. The truck swerved into their picnic table. No one was left alive. His Granddad took John in that night they both rocked and cried He said, Son youre much too young for this, but theres a truth I know inside. CHORUS Its always darkest before the light God holds our hand through the darkest nights. Heartache gives birth to the brightest brights. Sadness prepares us for greater heights. Its always darkest before the light. VERSE 2 John was twenty down in the mineshaft two hundred dollars a day The work was gritty, far from pretty but it was damn good pay. The wall fell in on its metal braces left them gaspin for fresh air. Just a pit of frightened faces. In the dark John knelt and prayed... CHORUS Its always darkest before the light God take my hand through this darkest nights. Nothing real good comes without a fight Its always darkest before the light. VERSE 3 The rescue drill reached rtheir chamber just as the air expired. Next thing John knew he was on a stretcher a helper by my side. Seems youre a favored son, young man six miners died today. Someone had their hand on you. What have you got to say? CHORUS Its always darkest before the light God works his grace through the darkest nights. Six dusty angels made Heaven tonight Its always darkest before the light. VERSE 4 The call came in on a Friday evening Granddads fading fast When John arrived his uncle told him He wants to see you last Granddads eyes were shut real tight as he pulled John to his side and what he whispered in Johns ear lets say it came as no surprise. CHORUS Its always darkest before the light God takes our hand on the final night Everyones here, its a lovely sight. Your mom and dad send their love tonight. Its always darkest before the light. Its always darkest before the light. Copyright 2004, Norman Ball
