Just before the dawn

Life goes on around us
It’s like no-one has ever gone
We live, we love and we focus
Sometimes we are left all alone

Life can be such a struggle
Just trying and get through the night
When surrounded by our demons
Stranded; bereft without the light

Don't you know we need to focus?
On our Lord: The Infinite Unknown
Don't you know it's darkest?
Just before the dawn

Like those gathering storm clouds
Just like our silly fears: our doubts
Will we be left alone: forsworn?
If we do not take hold of the light?

How do we make the most of this life?
When there is no light is shining in?
How do we get on with living?
When everyone wants to just give in?

Don't you know we all need to focus?
On our Lord: The Infinite Unknown
Don't you know it's darkest?
Just before the dawn

The stars come out in glory
Yes: every blessed night
Have you heard Jesus’ story?
Of His precious love, His might

What holds the most comfort?
Who understands your plight?
Dear Jesus holds that title
Dear Jesus is the light!

Don't you know we all need to focus?
On our Lord: The Infinite Unknown
Don't you know it's darkest?
Just before the dawn
 Don't you know we all need to focus?
On our Lord: The Infinite Unknown
Don't you know it's darkest?
Just before the dawn
