[Verse 1] Late city air, sodium moons, I won’t flare up at the fast-bloomed booms; I set my hands to quiet good, find a place in my neighborhood; I take my joy in You alone— You tune my wishes to Your tone. [Pre-Chorus] Let the loud fade out like smoke in the breeze; the gentle will walk on fields like these. [Chorus] I wait in the night while You turn the sky; You make what’s right rise like morning light. I lay it all down on Your steady side— I wait in the night, I wait in the night. [Verse 2] I roll my way on You tonight; You bring my case to open light. I still my tongue, I drop the fight; let anger go with the passing lights. Better a little with clean, open palms than heaps of wrong and glittering charms. [Pre-Chorus] Let the loud fade out like smoke in the breeze; the gentle will walk on fields like these. [Chorus] I wait in the night while You turn the sky; You make what’s right rise like morning light. I lay it all down on Your steady side— I wait in the night, I wait in the night. [Bridge] If I slip, I won’t be thrown— Your hand is there beneath my own. I was young; now years have grown, yet I’ve not seen Your friends left alone. Turn from wrong; learn what is good; stay, and live, just like You said we would. You are our help when shadows press, our quiet shelter in distress. [Chorus] I wait in the night while You turn the sky; You make what’s right rise like morning light. I lay it all down on Your steady side— I wait in the night, I wait in the night. [Outro] Soft ones will get the open land; You hold our steps with steady hands.
