In The Night by Andrew Peterson Bm A I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestling G A In the darkness with the Fear, in the darkness with the Fear Bm A But he met the morning wounded with a blessing G A Bm So in the night my hope lives on When Elisha woke surrounded by the forces Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God He saw the hills aflame with angels on their horses So in the night my hope lives on I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding Still in the night my hope lives on I see the armies of the enemy approaching And the people driven, trembling, to the shore But a doorway through the waters now is opening So in the night my hope lives on Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness, Too ashamed to lift his head--but if he could lift his head He would see his father running from a distance In the night my hope lives on I can see the crowd of men retreating As he stands between the woman and their stones And if mercy in his holy heart is beating Then in the night my hope lives on I remember how they scorned the son of Mary He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb He was beaten, he was crucified, and buried And in the night, my hope was gone But the rulers of earth could not control Him They did not take his life--he laid it down All the chains of earth could never hope to hold him So in the night my hope lives on www.TAB6.com
