When the Night Comes Around

When the night comes around And I can't tell the way up from down It's a cold sky above this heart of mine And this feeling I know Strange the way it comes and it goes It's like the moonlight, only sometimes All these walls I built to keep myself from hurting Or maybe I've forgotten how to feel I know that I should be a lamp that's burning But it's just the way that my heart seems to be Oh, light of the morning Come, shine in my soul again It's been miles on the road Yet I know that You won't let me go It's Your kindness that will lead me home And the stars, with their light Leaking through the cracks in the sky Like a memory of a better time Well, I caught I glimpse, but only for a moment Or were the stars there only in my dreams? I wanna feel the summer and the sunrise But it's just the way that my heart seems to be Oh, light of the morning Come, shine in my soul again You won't break the reed, though it bends to the ground You still fill a vessel, though the water pours out You won't quench a fire that's withering down But where are You now? Though the water rises and threatens to drown The roaring waves will heed Your voice when they hear the sound In stillness and in reverence, like weapons laid down Lord, I need You now
