In The Night My Hope Lives On Lyrics - Counting Stars - Andrew Peterson

I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestling 

In the darkness with the Fear, in the darkness with the Fear 

But he met the morning wounded with a blessing 

So in the night my hope lives on 

When Elisha woke surrounded by the forces 

Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God 

He saw the hills aflame with angels on their horses 

So in the night my hope lives on 

I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding 

And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan 

For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding 

Still in the night my hope lives on

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

I see the armies of the enemy approaching 

And the people driven, trembling, to the shore 

But a doorway through the waters now is opening 

So in the night my hope lives on 

Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness, 

Too ashamed to lift his head--but if he could lift his head 

He would see his father running from a distance 

In the night my hope lives on 

I can see the crowd of men retreating 

As he stands between the woman and their stones 

And if mercy in his holy heart is beating 

Then in the night my hope lives on 

I remember how they scorned the son of Mary 

He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb 

He was beaten, he was crucified, and buried 

And in the night, my hope was gone

But the rulers of earth could not control Him 

They did not take his life--he laid it down 

All the chains of death could never hope to hold him 

So in the night my hope lives on
