In The Night (LP Version)-Professor Longhair

[00:01.12]Andrew Peterson - In The Night [00:02.12] [00:04.64]I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestling [00:09.29]In the darkness with the fear, in the darkness with the fear [00:13.98]But he met the morning wounded with a blessing [00:18.15]So in the night, my hope lives on [00:22.20] [00:23.31]And when Elisha woke surrounded by the forces [00:27.87]Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God [00:32.74]He saw the hills aflame with angels on their horses [00:36.77]So in the night, my hope lives on [00:40.86] [00:41.50]Oh, in the night [00:43.74]Oh, in the night [00:46.10]Oh, in the night [00:48.01]My hope lives on [00:50.36] [00:51.17]I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding [00:55.81]And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan [01:00.71]For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding [01:04.75]Still in the night, my hope lives on [01:09.09] [01:09.85]I see the armies of the enemy approaching [01:14.38]And the people driven, trembling, to the shore [01:19.13]But a doorway through the waters now is opening [01:23.42]So in the night, my hope lives on [01:27.40] [01:28.11]Oh, in the night [01:30.36]Oh, in the night [01:32.62]Oh, in the night [01:34.45]My hope lives on [01:37.18] [01:46.93]Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness [01:51.71]Too ashamed to lift his head--but if he could lift his head [01:56.52]He would see his father running from a distance [02:00.93]In the night, my hope lives on [02:04.91] [02:05.75]And I can see the crowd of men retreating [02:10.45]As he stands between the woman and their stones [02:14.86]And if mercy in his holy heart is beating [02:19.35]Then in the night, my hope lives on [02:23.34] [02:42.99]Well, I remember how they scorned the son of Mary [02:47.59]He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb [02:52.41]He was beaten, He was crucified, and buried [02:56.65]And in the night, my hope was gone [03:00.51] [03:01.64]But the rulers of earth could not control Him [03:06.14]No, they did not take His life--He laid it down [03:10.95]All the chains of death could never hope to hold Him [03:15.29]So in the night, my hope lives on [03:19.73] [03:38.71]And I can see the Son of Man descending [03:43.47]And the sword He swings is brighter than the dawn [03:48.25]And the gates of Hell will never stand against Him [03:52.66]So in the night my hope lives on [03:56.88] [03:57.50]Oh, in the night [03:59.52]Oh, in the night [04:01.64]Oh, in the night [04:03.64]My hope lives on [04:05.99] [04:06.65]Oh, in the night [04:08.92]Oh, in the night [04:11.21]Oh, in the night [04:13.35]My hope lives on [04:19.22]
