Story Behind The Song
The line, "and know that time spent, praising through affliction is not lost to the eyes of the Lord" popped into my head while I was working in the warehouse at Sears. I scribbled it down on a piece of paper and finished the song after I got home.

Lyrics
Hold back your tears for the night isn't over
There's joy when the morning comes
Put away your fears for the storm's almost over
They'll be dancing in the noon day sun
He will turn your mourning to a joyous occasion
Trade you beauty for your ashes
And know that time spent praising through affliction
Is not lost to the eyes of The Lord, so
Curb your frustration for the trial's almost over
There's victory right around the bend
Hold on to your faith, child, don't waver for a second
Just know that the pressure will end
He will lift up a standard for you His people
When the enemy comes at you like a flood
And the peace that surpasses all understanding
Will guard you and keep you
So walk through your missteps, though the path may be narrow
His hand will show you the way
If you lose your direction, backtrack, He will meet you
He's been known to recover the day
He remembers the prophecy made over your life
Before he spoke the world into being
He said it and his word and His word never changes
Just trust in Him, he'll never leave you or forsake you
He's God and He hasn't forgotten
