Give Me A Song In The Night - Joni Eareckson Tada

Give Me a Song in the Night - Paul Revenson (used by permission)

Give me a song in the night, loving Lord,
send me a melody deep…
so all my soul, my heart and my mind,
can recount how You lovingly keep.
Give me a song when the hours grow long,
and much of life seems to go wrong;
when its shadows befall –
and my faith seems so small,
In the night, Jesus, give me a song.
Though my dreams would seem crushed,
mirth and music lie hushed,
and the worst might seem to impend,
send me a song in the night, dearest Lord,
whose worship and praise sees no end.
Send me a sound of sunshine so sweet,
while life’s last winter’s sun has gone down.
Therein might I sing, giving thanks in all things,
whether to want or abound.
Give me a song in the night, loving Lord,
which life’s storms with, its clouds cannot blight.
That I might not just sing ‘when the lark’s on the wing’,
Savior, send me a song in the night.
Job 35:10
