Just Before the Dawn
by Rob Leveridge

Album: Dancing On The Mountain

Verse 1
I am found by the sound words I didn't heed,
Sinned against heaven in thought, word and deed.
Chose to walk in the dark with a lamp in hand,
Lit it, then, hid it in a bushel on the stand

When I saw neighbors fall into depths of need
I was held by the spells of my fear and greed.
Led to face my disgrace by the one you sent,
I am meant to repent

Chorus
Where's your grace, shining like the sun?
'Cause the light's all gone, just before the dawn
I'll awake and arise and run,
When the morning comes

Verse 2:
Took a pledge, then I hedged, to escape the pain
Shunned the loss and the cross, saw my courage slain
Didn't give or forgive, though my debt was paid,
Rather die than to lie in the bed I made

Placed my hope in the scope of my wealth and show.
Though I must, wouldn't trust what the lilies know
Made to face my disgrace, by the one you sent,
I am meant to repent

Longer Chorus:
Where's your grace, shining like the sun?
'Cause the light's all gone, just before the dawn
My mistakes made me flee from love
And the light's all gone, just before the dawn
I believe in the risen Son
But the light's all gone, just before the dawn
I'll awake and arise and run,
When the morning comes

Bridge

Let mercy lead my living,
Create a new beginning

Verse 3

Author of every love, every truth and grace
Hear my cry, take my life, in this holy space
Use these gifts to uplift, never to betray,
Help me stay on your Way
