Prayer in the Night
The Family International
Sometimes in the night, I lie here in fright
I can feel the darkness closing in on me
The night is so long
I wait for the dawn
If only I could rest from all this agony
Troubled by dreams
I feel I could scream
Looking for a way to end the misery
At the end of my rope
With no visible hope
I call upon the name that always rescues me
A prayer in the night
Upon my bed
A prayer in the night
Is all I need
To chase away my pain and fears
And make the prince of darkness flee!
Whenever I'm down
Whenever I'm lonely
Whenever it's dark
And I get afraid
I call out the name
That never has failed me
And the terror by night
Is frightened away
So in the night
When I try to sleep
And I feel the darkness closing in on me
I'm so weak, and I know it's true
That I could never make it
Through the night without You
A prayer in the night
Upon my bed
A prayer in the night
Is all I need
To chase away my pain and fears
And make the prince of darkness flee!
Whenever I'm down
Whenever I'm lonely
Whenever it's dark
And I get afraid
I call out the name
That never has failed me
And the terror by night
Is frightened away
Whenever I'm lonely
Whenever it's dark
And I get afraid
I call out the name
That never has failed me (Jesus)
And the terror by night
Is frightened away
And the terror by night
Is frightened away
