IN THE NIGHT I SEEK YOU, LORD [Instrumental Intro] [Soft melodica, gentle reggae guitar, warm Hammond organ] [Verse 1] In the night I search for You, Lord When the streets are still and bare All alone inside my room I can feel my silent prayer All these years I kept on wandering Chasing dreams along the way Now the evening shadows find me And I need You here to stay [Pre-Chorus] On my knees in darkest night All my sorrow comes to light Lord, please hold me when I fall Bring Your peace into my soul [Chorus] Oh Lord, in the night I seek You When my life is filled with pain Hold me close within Your mercy Let my heart find peace again Oh Lord, please remain beside me When I feel I have no one Though the road ahead is stormy With You, I am not alone [Instrumental Break] [Emotional melodica and electric guitar solo] [Verse 2] There were times I lost my pathway And forgot Your gentle call Chasing after empty pleasures Till I had no strength at all There were times I cried and wondered Why You seemed so far away When my heart was torn and broken And the night would never fade [Pre-Chorus] Yet within the silent night I can hear Your voice inside Like a flame that softly glows Your love warms my weary soul [Chorus] Oh Lord, in the night I seek You When my life is filled with pain Hold me close within Your mercy Let my heart find peace again Oh Lord, please remain beside me When I feel I have no one Though the road ahead is stormy With You, I am not alone [Instrumental Solo] [Long soulful electric guitar solo, warm reggae bass, melodica response] [Bridge] I don’t ask for wealth or glory I don’t ask for worldly fame Only keep my spirit faithful When I walk through wind and rain Teach me how to love my neighbor With the love You give to me Teach my heart to choose forgiveness Even through my misery [Final Chorus] Oh Lord, in the night I seek You Lead me through the longest night Keep my heart from fear and sorrow For Your love will be my light Oh Lord, now I’ve found my peace In the shelter of Your love Though the road ahead is stormy I will follow You alone [Outro] Night is fading, dawn is rising In Your love, my soul finds peace [Instrumental Outro] [Peaceful melodica melody, emotional guitar solo, gentle organ, slowly fading reggae groove]
