I CAME BY NIGHT — AND I STAYED BY DUSK (Remastered)

V6

  📝 Lyrics Verse 1 (Voice quiet, reflective — harp plucks soft, searching) I came to You… when the world was asleep… Afraid of the light… afraid to speak deep… “Rabbi,” I said… “we know You come from God…” You told me… unless a man be born again… he cannot see… the road… I asked… “How can a man… enter his mother’s womb again?” You spoke of Spirit… wind… living water… no chain… I did not understand… not fully… not then… But Your words… they stayed… in my heart… within… Verse 2 (Softer, sorrowful — harp slows) I stood among them… when they sought Your life… I spoke gently… “Does our law judge before it hears?” They mocked me too… “Search and see… no prophet from Galilee appears…” I stepped back… but I did not turn away… I waited… in the shadows… day by day… And now… they have nailed You… the Light… the Truth… And I know… I know You were the living proof… Pre-Chorus (Reverent, steady) They brought You with scorn… they stripped You bare… I bring spices… a hundred pounds… to show You honor… rare… Chorus (Deep, tender, dignified) I CAME BY NIGHT… HIDING FROM THE EYES 🌙💛 NOW I STAY BY DUSK… BENEATH THE DARKENED SKIES MYRHH AND ALOES… HEAPED HIGH AND SWEET… MORE THAN ENOUGH… FOR A KING COMPLETE… I WRAP YOUR BODY… GENTLE AND PURE… HONOR THE TEACHER… WHO OPENED THE DOOR… BORN AGAIN… YOU TAUGHT ME TO BE… NOW I SEE… I BELIEVE… 🕊️🙏 Verse 3 (Calm, reverent — remembering) You said… God so loved the world… He gave His only Son… That whoever believes… should not perish… but have life… won… You said… as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness… So must the Son of Man be lifted high… to heal distress… I saw You lifted… bleeding… pierced… and torn… The bronze serpent… healing… the world reborn… I did not understand… the full cost… then… But I see it now… in the garden… in the dusk… when… All is quiet… and You lie still… The greatest love… that ever will… Bridge (Almost silence — harp one clear, soft note) I came in darkness… seeking light… You did not turn me away… You taught me… day and night… I was afraid… of what they’d say… But Your love… it chased the fear away… And now… openly… I stand… To serve You… with these hands… Final Chorus (Stronger, brighter — faith clear at last) I CAME BY NIGHT… AND NOW I STAND IN LIGHT! WHAT I DID NOT SEE… I SEE WITH ALL MY MIGHT! YOU ARE THE WAY… THE TRUTH… THE LIFE… THE SACRIFICE… THE LAMB… THE PRICE! I GIVE MY WEALTH… I GIVE MY HONOR… ALL… TO HIM WHO CAME… TO ANSWER MY CALL… MY LORD… MY TEACHER… MY KING… 🕊️✨ Outro (Whisper — harp fading warm and gentle) You said… “The light shines in the darkness… and the darkness has not overcome it.” I believe… ✨
