[length: 04:21]
[00:04.53]I am weary with the pain of Jacob’s wrestling
[00:09.18]In the darkness with the fear, in the darkness with the fear
[00:13.82]But he met the morning wounded with a blessing
[00:18.34]So in the night my hope lives on
[00:22.94]And when Elisha woke surrounded by the forces
[00:27.83]Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God
[00:32.39]He saw the hills aflame with angels on their horses
[00:36.79]So in the night, my hope lives on
[00:41.49]Oh, in the night, oh, in the night
[00:46.06]Oh, in the night my hope lives on
[00:50.96]I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding
[00:55.63]And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan
[01:00.24]For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding
[01:04.64]Still in the night my hope lives on
[01:09.53]I see the armies of the enemy approaching
[01:14.27]And the people driven, trembling, to the shore
[01:18.98]But a doorway through the waters now is opening
[01:23.30]So in the night my hope lives on
[01:28.04]Oh, in the night, oh, in the night
[01:32.70]Oh, in the night my hope lives on
[01:46.97]Like the son who thought he’d gone beyond forgiveness
[01:51.76]Too ashamed to lift his head but if he could lift his head
[01:56.37]He would see his father running from a distance
[02:01.07]In the night my hope lives on
[02:05.53]And I can see the crowd of men retreating
[02:10.20]As He stands between the woman and their stones
[02:14.73]And if mercy in His holy heart is beating
[02:19.30]Then in the night my hope lives on
[02:42.82]Well, I remember how they scorned the son of Mary
[02:47.53]He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb
[02:52.14]He was beaten, He was crucified and buried
[02:56.64]And in the night my hope was gone
[03:01.51]But the rulers of this earth could not control Him
[03:06.16]No, they did not take His life, He laid it down
[03:10.88]And all the chains of death could never hope to hold Him
[03:15.16]So in the night my hope lives on
[03:38.89]And I can see the Son of Man descending
[03:43.57]And the sword He swings is brighter than the dawn
[03:48.15]And the gates of hell will never stand against Him
[03:52.68]So in the night my hope lives on
[03:57.14]Oh, in the night, oh, in the night
[04:01.72]Oh, in the night my hope lives on
[04:06.52]Oh, in the night, oh, in the night
[04:11.18]Oh, in the night my hope lives on
