[Verse 1] I waited in the quiet till the streetlights blurred, Breath on the window, whispering a prayer. You leaned from the heavens, caught my trembling word, Pulled me from the mud and the cold night air. Now the ground under me doesn’t shift like before, Steps line up steady on a steady floor. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t chase the noise or the hollow applause, I lean into You, into loyal cause. [Chorus] You put a new song in my mouth at midnight, Soft as a sigh, rising like dawnlight. You turned my falling into upright, Hold me close and keep me in Your daylight. New song in my mouth at midnight. [Verse 2] Not with empty rituals, not with smoke and flare, You wanted my heart and an open ear. So I say, “Here I am,” and I mean it here, Your word written deep where the pulse is near. I won’t keep quiet what Your goodness has done, Truth on my lips for the crowded one. [Pre-Chorus] Let kindness and truth be the guard on the gate, Wrap me in mercy while the long nights wait. [Chorus] You put a new song in my mouth at midnight, Soft as a sigh, rising like dawnlight. You turned my falling into upright, Hold me close and keep me in Your daylight. New song in my mouth at midnight. [Bridge] Troubles like waves, and my faults like rain, Eyes go dim under nameless pain. Be my rescue—come quickly near, Lift my face, quiet my fear. Let the ones who seek You glow with joy, “Magnify the Lord” from girl and boy. I am small and needy, still You think of me— My Help, my Deliverer—set me free. [Chorus] You put a new song in my mouth at midnight, Soft as a sigh, rising like dawnlight. You turned my falling into upright, Hold me close and keep me in Your daylight. New song in my mouth at midnight. [Outro] From the pit to the porch of morning light, I’m humming the mercy that held me tight.
