Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
The Bible says our faith is tried within the fire and pain To show the proof of saving grace and wash away our blame We have to walk through trials here before our race is run To make us pure and spotless to the glory of the Son
(Verse 2)
When heavy tribulations come and troubles gather near The Savior stays beside our bed to take away our fear He will not leave His children when the road is hard to see He stays a faithful shelter as He promised you and me
(Chorus)
The Lord is always with you when the night is closing in His steady hand will carry you and wash away your sin Though thunder rolls around you and the world is burning cold He keeps you in His mercy till the parting skies we behold
(Verse 3)
So do not falter when you hear the heavy tempests roar Just fall down on your knees and pray and trust Him more and more He uses every trial just to make our spirits true And by His loving grace will see you safely through
(Chorus)
The Lord is always with you when the night is closing in His steady hand will carry you and wash away your sin Though thunder rolls around you and the world is burning cold He keeps you in His mercy till the parting skies we behold
(Bridge)
Jesus is now my anchor when the road is dark and long He turns my deepest sorrow to an everlasting song I know He will not leave me and He will not let me down I’ll serve the Savior till I die and wear a golden crown
(Final Chorus)
The Lord is always with you when the night is closing in His steady hand will carry you and wash away your sin Though thunder rolls around you and the world is burning cold He keeps you in His mercy till the parting skies we behold
