THE WEIGHT OF THE DAWN (Theme: For I Consider That the Sufferings of This Present Time Are Not Worth Comparing with the Glory That Is to Be Revealed to Us — Romans 8:18) Verse 1 I’ve been sitting in the ashes of a house that burned away, Counting up the losses and the heartbreaks of the day. The body's growing weary and the spirit carries scars, And the midnight is so heavy that it covers up the stars. The enemy keeps whispering, "This pain is all you have, There is no holy remedy, there is no healing salve." And it’s easy to get swallowed by the groaning of the earth, To mistake the labor pains for death instead of birth. But I caught a sudden whisper from the edge of the frontier, That puts a different measure on the trouble living here. Chorus For I reckon that the sufferings of this present, passing time, Are nothing but a drop inside an ocean so sublime! They are not worth comparing, they cannot even weigh, Against the blinding glory that is coming on the way! It’s an everlasting beauty that will soon be wide unfurled, Revealed inside the children who will inherit the world! Verse 2 If you put your deepest sorrows on a heavy courtroom scale, With the diagnosis papers and the tears that left you pale, The betrayal and the loneliness, the cemetery ground, And all the silent agonies that keep your spirit bound— And then you place the glory that the Father has designed, The weight of your inheritance will leave them far behind! The scales will tip to heaven with a sudden, crashing force, Shattering the memory of the winter and the source. The scars you carry with you will become a badge of light, When the morning sun exposes all the shadows of the night! Chorus For I reckon that the sufferings of this present, passing time, Are nothing but a drop inside an ocean so sublime! They are not worth comparing, they cannot even weigh, Against the blinding glory that is coming on the way! It’s an everlasting beauty that will soon be wide unfurled, Revealed inside the children who will inherit the world! Bridge Hold on! (Hold on!) Take heart! (Take heart!) The trouble's gonna... (Fall apart!) Not worth... (Not worth...) The scale! (The scale!) His Glory's gonna... (Break the veil!) Revealed in us! Chorus For I reckon that the sufferings of this present, passing time, Are nothing but a drop inside an ocean so sublime! They are not worth comparing, they cannot even weigh, Against the blinding glory that is coming on the way! It’s an everlasting beauty that will soon be wide unfurled, Revealed inside the children who will inherit the world! #theweightofthedawn #prayerforhealing #praiseandworship #worshipmusic #gospelmusic #music
