Dust Before the Dawn
Boxes stacked up wall to wall
Pictures down in the empty hall
Everybody tired, nerves stretched thin
Tryin’ to hold this whole thing in
Paint on the floor, tools everywhere
Stress and tension fill the air
But a house looks worse before it shines
And love gets tested in hard times
There’s always dust before the dawn
Chaos before the calm comes on
Walls get shaken, hearts get tried
But love keeps buildin’ through the hard times
Every long and restless night
Every sacrifice and fight
If we hold on through the strain
We’ll stand stronger through the rain
Sometimes rebuildin’ hurts before it heals
But in the end, amen, it’s real
New keys hangin’ by the door
Dreamin’ about what this place is for
We didn’t come this far to break apart
We’re buildin’ stronger hearts
So when the whole world feels upside down
And frustration’s all around
Take my hand and don’t let go
God ain’t finished with this home
There’s always dust before the dawn
Faith keeps pushin’ us along
The storm was rough, the road was long
But somehow love kept holdin’ on
And one day we’ll look back and say
The hard times built the better days
Through the hurt, through the change
Amen… we stayed.
