As I was writing the words to
this song, as the Lord Jesus was giving them to me, I was picturing in my mind
the persecuted church throughout the world either in prison or in hiding,
singing songs of praise to their God for his great salvation. I pictured that
the night truly symbolized a time of great trouble and hardship to come upon
the church, and so the church was lifting holy hands in prayer and in praise to
their Lord despite their difficult circumstances. I also pictured that among
them were new believers in Jesus Christ who were freshly praising their Lord
for their newfound freedom in Christ. Oh, how glorious!
Songs in the Night
An Original Work / December
18, 2013
“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and
singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Acts
16:25 NIV ‘84
Lord, I praise You
forevermore.
You, my Savior, I now adore.
Hope in heaven awaiting me,
Because You died at Calvary.
I have been forgiven,
And I’m bound for heaven.
Jesus set me free from
All my sin, I say.
I will praise Him always!
Lord, I love You for all
You’ve done:
Overcame death, my vict’ry
won!
Jesus saved me, and now I’m
free!
I rejoice in His love for me.
I will walk in vict’ry!
My sin is but hist’ry!
I am free to please Him
With my life today.
I will love Him always!
Lord, I thank You for giving
me
A new life bought at Calvary.
Loving Jesus, I meet with
Him.
Tender mercies now flow
within.
Lord, I am so thankful;
Through my Lord, I’m able
To sit at His table;
Fellowship with Him.
I will thank Him always!
