Through the Night

I've seen the road and it's snares I bore the load though it wears I've heard your curses and taunts and still it won't stop me I've heard your curses and slights and yet it won't stop me Slept through the coldest of nights and still it won't stop me From ever calling You “king” Or hide the Gospel we bring It's burning bright in my eyes Come grow, come grow and light up the skies We're hungry, tired, and sick Faced with resistance on every end (in You we hide) I've felt the scorn you inflict Attack this mission I will defend Still onward we will ride We will ride Onward we will ride Forward with no end in sight In You we shall hide Our hope is found in the light Tonight I rest, I rest in peace Your will is greater than mine And I haven't a thirst for wealth or man's empty praise For the glory is Thine And I haven't a want of fame in this world to claim at all We will ride We will face the world We will ride We will face the world We're dirty, restless, and sore But count it joy to be found worthy (against this test) Endless assaults to endure Upon our bodies with no worry For one day I'll have rest I've seen the road and it's snares I bore the load though it wears I've heard your curses and taunts and yet it won't stop me And yet it won't stop me Tonight I rest, I rest in peace Your will is greater than mine And I haven't a thirst for wealth or man's empty praise For the glory is Thine And I haven't a want of fame in this world to claim When the vile take aim on my flesh I'll call Your name I've seen the road and it won't stop me With Your strength bestowed upon me freely And Your grace has flowed in us completely Now let us cut through the night so that in me they would see light I've seen the road and it won't stop me No end in sight as far as I see And I'll bear the weight of the victim Onward we ride till kingdom come I've seen the road and it won't stop me No end in sight as far as I see
