Before the World Wakes Up

Before the World Wakes Up

The house is still, the dark's not done
Before the phone, before the sun
I put my boots on quiet floors
And find the place behind the door
Where nobody needs a thing from me
Where I can just sit still and breathe
And somewhere in the black I hear
A voice that says, "I'm already here"

He rose up early, left the crowd behind
Found a lonely place to clear His mind
If the Son of God had somewhere to be
Then Lord, I know I need this too

Let's talk, before the world wakes up
Let's talk, just me and You and a coffee cup
No agenda, no rehearsed request
Just Your kid, showing up, doing his best
So let's talk, in the quiet and the gray
Let's talk, before I face the day
'Cause I'm no good on my own
Let's talk, before I go

He'd slip away while it was dark
Mark told us where, Luke told us why
Not once did ministry come first
The Father's face came before the crowd's
So I'm not chasing some routine
I'm chasing after what He'd seen
That silence isn't empty space
It's a doorway to a Father's face

Let's talk, before the world wakes up
Let's talk, just me and You and a coffee cup
No agenda, no rehearsed request
Just Your kid, showing up, doing his best
So let's talk, in the quiet and the gray
Let's talk, before I face the day
'Cause I'm no good on my own
Let's talk, before I go

Some days it's tears, some days it's thanks
Some days I run out of words to say
But You don't need me eloquent
You just need me to stay
So I'll keep showing up in the dark
Long before the porch light dies
Not because I have to, Father
But because You're always up before I rise

Let's talk, before the world wakes up
Let's talk, just me and You and a coffee cup
No agenda, no rehearsed request
Just Your kid, showing up, doing his best
So let's talk, tomorrow same as today
Let's talk, I ain't ever gonna stray
'Cause I'm no good on my own
Let's talk... before I go
Let's talk... before I go
