In The Night

Bm


[Verse 1]
     Bm                            
I am weary with the pain of Jacob's
 A
 wrestling
       G                         
In the darkness with the Fear, in 
                       A
the darkness with the Fear
       Bm                          
But he met the morning wounded with
   A
 a blessing
           G       A          Bm
So in the night my hope lives on


[Verse 2]
         Bm                        
And when Elisha woke surrounded by 
     A
the forces
       G                           
Of the enemies of God, the enemies 
    A
of God
           Bm                      
He saw the hills aflame with angels
          A
 on their horses
          G        A          Bm
So in the night my hope lives on


[Chorus]
          Bm               A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
          G         A          Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on


[Verse 3]
          Bm                       
I see the slave that toils beneath 
           A
the yoke unyielding
          G                      
And I can hear the captive groan, 
                   A
hear the captive groan
         Bm                        
For some hand to stay the whip his 
       A
foe is wielding
             G         A         Bm
Still in the night my hope lives on


[Verse 4]
          Bm                 
I see the armies of the enemy 
    A
approaching
        G                          
And the people driven, trembling, 
      A
to the shore

       Bm                          
But a doorway through the waters 
     A
now is opening
          G         A         Bm
So in the night my hope lives on


[Chorus]
          Bm               A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
          G         A          Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on

[Verse 5]
          Bm                       
Like the son who thought he'd gone 
           A
beyond forgiveness,
     G                             
Too ashamed to lift his head--but 
                     A
if he could lift his head
         Bm                        
He would see his father running 
    A
from a distance
        G        A         Bm
In the night my hope lives on


[Verse 6]
      Bm                  
I can see the crowd of men 
     A
retreating
       G                           
As he stands between the woman and 
       A
their stones
       Bm                        
And if mercy in his holy heart is 
  A
beating
             G        A         Bm
Then in the night my hope lives on

[Verse 7]
       Bm                          
Well I remember how they scorned 
          A
the son of Mary
       G                           
He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as 
   A
a lamb
       Bm                          
He was beaten, he was crucified, 
  A
and buried
           G          A        Bm
And in the night, my hope was gone


[Verse 8]
        Bm                       
But the rulers of earth could not 
          A
control Him
      G                            
They did not take his life--he laid
     A
 it down
             Bm                  
And all the chains of death could 
                A
never hope to hold him
           G        A         Bm
So in the night my hope lives on

[Verse 9]
          Bm                
And I can see the Son of Man 
    A
descending
         G                         
And the sword he swings is brighter
           A
 than the sun
         Bm                     
And the gates of hell will never 
         A
stand against him
           G        A         Bm
So in the night my hope lives on


[Chorus]
          Bm               A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
          G         A          Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on
          Bm               A
Oh in the night, oh in the night
          G         A          Bm
Oh in the night, my hope lives on
