Night of Nights

by slm - Libra

I came to church to hear the choir sing our favorite songs
I entered in the church that night so humbled and withdrawn
I took my seat, up towards the front so I'd be close and near
I closed my eyes as they began to sing sweet music in my ear

They started singing with the saints, the choir dressed in blue
I listened as I sat there, as the choir brought me to You
I felt Your presence fill this place as I listened from my pew
And wiped the tears upon my face, saying still I will trust You

They sang that we shall see You and we won't cross Jordan alone
My troubles seemed to melt away as I was taken to Your throne
Jesus, You are welcome here, oh what a lovely name
The Lamb has overcome my sin and I'll never be the same

I came to church to hear the choir sing our favorite songs
I entered in the church that night so humbled and withdrawn
But I was lifted to a higher place and sat beneath Your throne
And reminded, I am saved by grace, and never far from home
