"No man can make a song in the night by himself; he may attempt it, but he will find how difficult it is. It is not natural to sing in trouble... Songs in the night come only from God; they are not in the power of man."
- Charles H. Spurgeon
lyrics
Notes of praise in the hour of darkness
Notes of praise when God seems silent
In questions or pain or anger or shame
There's still a song in the night
Sing, though the shadows taunt you
Sing, though your tears abound
Sing, though your heart falls to pieces
Sing, oh, sing, for the morning will come
There is One Who knows your burden
There is One Who's right here with you
You don't have to do this alone
He is your strength and your song
So sing, to the God Who loves you
Sing, of the hope you've found
Sing, when it's all you can cling to
Sing, oh, sing, of the morning to come
And it will come, so my brother
So my sister, take heart
Sing, for the night is ending
Sing, for the trouble won't last
Sing, darling, dawn will soon be here!
Sing, oh, sing of the morning to come
Sing, oh, sing of the morning to come
Sing, oh, sing, for the morning has come
