Andrew Peterson – In The Night (Guitar)

     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

         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

           Bm                A
Oh, in the night, oh, in the night

           G         A          Bm
Oh, in the night, my hope lives on

          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

          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

           Bm                A
Oh, in the night, oh, in the night

           G         A          Bm
Oh, in the night, my hope lives on

          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

      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

        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

        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

          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

           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
