Album: HEAVEN'S MAGIC | Song lyrics to: PRAYER IN THE NIGHT
"PRAYER IN THE NIGHT"
Sometimes in the night I lie here in fright
I can feel the darkness
Closing in on me.
The night is so long.
I wait for the dawn.
If only I could rest
From all this agony.
Troubled by dreams,
I feel I could scream
Looking for a way to end
The misery.
At the end of my rope
With no visible hope
I call upon the Name
That always rescues me.
[Refrain:]
A prayer in the night upon my bed.
A prayer in the night is all I need
To chase away my pain and fears
And make the prince of darkness flee!
Chorus:
Whenever I'm down,
Whenever I'm lonely
Whenever it's dark and I get afraid
I call out the Name
That never has failed me
And the terror by night is frightened away.
[Musical break:]
So in the night
When I try to sleep
And I feel the darkness
Closing in on me,
I'm so weak and I know it's true
That I could never make it
Through the night without You.
[Repeat refrain]
[Repeat chorus]
Chorus:
Whenever I'm lonely
Whenever it's dark
And I get afraid
I call out the Name
That never has failed me [Jesus]
And the terror by night
Is frightened away.
[Repeat]
