A Song at Midnight

 
 

Behold, I am near at hand to bless you,

and I will surely give to you out of the abundance of heaven.

For My heart is open to your cry; yes,

when you cry to Me in the night seasons,

I am alert to your call, and when you search after Me,

the darkness will not hide My face;

it will be as the stars which shine more brightly in the

deep of night.

Even so it shall be.  In the night of spiritual battle,

there I shall give you fresh revelations of Myself,

and you shall see Me more clearly than you could

in the sunlight of ease and pleasure.

Man by nature chooses the day and shuns the night;

but I say to you,

I shall make your midnight a time of great rejoicing,

and I will fill the dark hour with songs of praise.

Yes, with David, you shall rise at midnight to sing.

It has been written, "Joy comes in the morning,"

but I will make your song break out in the night.

For he who lifts the shout of faith and praise in the night,

to him there shall be joy in the morning.
