[Verse 1]
It's easy to bless you when the valley's behind me
It's easy to trust you when my world is not unwinding
But this is the darkest midnight that my soul has ever seen
So I will stand my ground, lift my hands to you and sing

[Chorus]
Before the prayer is answered, before the battle's won
Before this trial is over, before the healing comes
I will choose to trust you, I will bless you, Lord
I won't wait to praise you after, I will praise you before, mm

[Verse 2]
In the lonely place of silence where the waiting gets so old
I found the flame of worship, keeps my heart from growing cold
You've always been so faithful when I can't do my part
Even in my worn out weakness, nothing changes who you are

[Chorus]
Before the prayer is answered, before the battle's won
Before this trial is over, before the healing comes
I will choose to trust you, I will bless you, Lord
I won't wait to praise you after, I will praise you—

[Bridge]
Before you ever formed me
You knew I'd be here on my knees
You're the one who's fighting for me
And you know where this will lead
[Chorus]
Before the prayer is answered, before the battle's won
Before this trial is over, before the healing comes
I will choose to trust you, I will bless you, Lord
I won't wait to praise you after, I will praise you before

[Outro]
I won't wait to praise you after
I will praise you before
