Andrew Peterson - In The Night lyrics

I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestling
In the darkness with the fear
In the darkness with the fear
But he met the morning
Wounded with a blessing
So in the night, my hope lives on

And 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

Oh in the night oh in the night
Oh 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

Oh in the night oh in the night
Oh 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

And 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

Well 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 this earth
Could not control Him
No, they did not take His
Life -He laid it down
And all the chains of death could
Never hope to hold Him
So in the night, my hope lives on

And I can see the Son of Man descending
And the sword He swings is
Brighter than the dawn
And the gates of hell will
Never stand against Him
So in the night, my hope lives on

Oh in the night oh in the night
Oh in the night my hope lives on
Oh in the night oh in the night
Oh in the night my hope lives on
