In The Night Cifras

[Intro]
Bm
 
 
[Verse 1]
     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
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Bm                             A
And when Elisha woke surrounded by the forces
       G                               A
Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God
           Bm                                A
He saw the hills aflame with angels 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                                  A
I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding
          G                                         A
And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan
         Bm                               A
For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding
             G         A         Bm
Still in the night my hope lives on
 
 
[Verse 4]
          Bm                     A
I see the armies of the enemy approaching
        G                                A
And the people driven, trembling, to the shore
       Bm                               A
But a doorway through the waters 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                                  A
Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness,
     G                                                   A
Too ashamed to lift his head - but if he could lift his head
         Bm                            A
He would see his father running from a distance
        G        A         Bm
In the night my hope lives on
 
 
[Verse 6]
      Bm                       A
I can see the crowd of men retreating
       G                                  A
As he stands between the woman and their stones
       Bm                          A
And if mercy in his holy heart is beating
             G        A         Bm
Then in the night my hope lives on

[Verse 7]
        Bm                                    A
Well, I remember how they scorned the son of Mary
       G                              A
He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb
       Bm                            A
He was beaten, he was crucified, and buried
           G          A        Bm
And in the night, my hope was gone
 
 
[Verse 8]
        Bm                                 A
But the rulers of earth could not control Him
      G                                  A
They did not take his life - he laid it down
             Bm                                  A
And all the chains of death could never hope to hold him
           G        A         Bm
So in the night my hope lives on

[Verse 9]
          Bm                    A
And I can see the Son of Man descending
         G                                    A
And the sword he swings is brighter than the dawn
         Bm                              A
And the gates of hell will never 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
